Orofacial pain (OFP) is a specialized field within dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, management, and treatment of pain disorders affecting the jaw, mouth, face, head, and neck. OFP-related disorders include, but are not limited to:

• Temporomandibular muscle and joint (TMJ) disorders
• Jaw movement disorders
• Nerve and neurovascular pain disorder
• Headaches

• Sleep disorders

  Symptoms of OFP may include atypical pain, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), dizziness, muscular incoordination, and abnormal sensations such as itching or tingling in the head and neck region. Orofacial pain specialists also address unexplained or unresolved tooth pain following procedures like root canals, extractions, or implants.
