Oro-Facial Pain represents an important clinical pain issue
affecting a large number of patients, from childhood to old
age.
Oro-Facial Pain consists of a varied group of conditions
ranging from simple tooth ache to jaw joint problems to
classical neuralgias.
Patients with these condition will often have been treated by
a spectrum of healthcare professionals, ranging from
dentists, GP's, ENT surgeons, psychologists, neurologists
and surgeons with a different approach to history,
examination, classification and treatment.
It is not unusual to see the same patient being sent from one
specialist to another without communication between the
healthcare providers. The results can be frustrating and
disappointing for all the parties involved.
In this section of the website, the more 'commonly
encountered' oro-facial pains such as Atypical Facial Pain,
Atypical Odontalgia, Trigeminal Neuralgia and Burning
Mouth Syndrome are covered (these reflect the oro-facial
pains I tend to see most of on clinics in hospitals).
