Beyond TMJ: Understanding Orofacial Pain

Orofacial pain is discomfort originating in the face, jaw, or head, caused by various conditions beyond TMJ disorders.

  • Facial Nerve Pain: Burning, tingling, or shooting pain caused by trigeminal neuralgia or nerve compression.
  • Headaches and Migraines: Pain triggered by jaw tension, muscle strain, or nerve involvement.
