If you experience head pain that has other providers stumped, it might be time to see an Orofacial Pain Specialist.

While many people are familiar with terms like migraine, cluster headache, and tension headache, there are many uncommon headaches that patients struggle with. Orofacial Pain Specialists receive specialized training to diagnose and treat these unique conditions.

If you experience chronic head or face pain along with symptoms like:

• Jaw pain/tension
• Flushing of the skin
• Swelling of the eyelids
• Red or watery eyes
• Nasal congestion
• Burning or stabbing in specific areas of the face or head
• Head pain that repeatedly wakes you from sleep

Your symptoms may be related to one of many uncommon headaches and may be difficult for other providers to diagnose.

Contact our office today for help with your chronic head pain.

Did you know your resting body posture can influence jaw pain? The good news is that practicing good ergonomics can reduce unnecessary strain and make it easier for your body to heal.

Here are a few tips for improving jaw health right at home:

• Focus on good posture: Sit up straight, both feet flat on the floor, shoulders down and relaxed.
• Keep your head stacked on your shoulders: every inch forward drastically increases the amount of unnecessary weight your neck has to support.
• Sleeping: Avoid sleeping on your stomach. Try sleeping on your side or back with your head in line with your spine.
• Pay attention to how you hold your jaw: Think "lips together, teeth apart" for your resting jaw posture.

Each of these steps helps maintain good posture and may reduce tension in your jaw, neck, and shoulders.

Muscle pain and joint pain aren’t the same, and in orofacial pain patients, that difference matters.

• Muscle pain: deep, aching, tender to touch, often along the side of the cheek.
• Joint pain: sharp, stabbing, often right in front of the ear.

They can show up together and even make each other worse.

But the wrong treatment could be expensive and leave you frustrated.

For example, Botox, an effective treatment for jaw muscle pain, would be unlikely to help a patient who only suffers from painful joint inflammation.

Likewise, a steroid injection into the jaw joint would not relieve sore and tender muscles.

The key? Don’t guess. Get a proper diagnosis. An Orofacial Pain Specialist can pinpoint the source of your discomfort and create the right treatment plan for you.

Imagine this:

• You wake up feeling refreshed, without a stiff neck or shoulders
• Chewing your breakfast doesn't result in discomfort

• You can savor a pain-free dinner with your family

All of this without jaw pain, headaches, or facial swelling.

When we treat your TMD, you can experience days just like this. You won't have to dread or avoid daily activities like talking, eating, or laughing.

A clicking jaw doesn't automatically mean arthritis.

Jaw clicking is more common than most people think. In fact, 1 in 3 people has a click jaw joint. But a click doesn't mean you have a damaged joint, and it doesn't necessarily mean your jaw will get worse.

However, if your jaw click is accompanied by:
• A restricted range of motion
• Stiffness or pain
• Changes in your bite

It's time to consider seeing an orofacial pain specialist for a thorough examination and diagnosis.

On the other hand, if you only experience clicking and it isn't bothersome, you may not need to actively treat it.

A specialist can work with you to determine if your symptoms are concerning and how they should be treated.

Contact our office to schedule today.
