Our Treatment Protocol for Facial Pain
Many patients who visit us are experiencing facial or oral pain due to issues with their temporomandibular joint. Otherwise known as TMJ disorder, this condition’s primary symptom is pain or discomfort, though the causes can vary. We begin your TMJ treatment in Phoenix with an extensive muscle and joint evaluation, which sometimes includes a CBCT scan read by a UCLA-based radiologist. If your facial and oral pain is a result of muscle issues, we start with our oral-facial exercise protocol. Next, we address any occlusal issues that may be present and causing bruxism, muscle spasms, or pain. Stabilizing the bite, joints, and muscles is very effective at managing or resolving related facial pain. For more severe facial and oral pain, we provide short-term steroid anti-inflammatory medication and muscle exercises and trigger point injections from a pain management doctor. Your oral and facial pain may seem untreatable, but our highly-qualified team is experienced and equipped for facial pain treatment in Phoenix caring for your condition with specialized and targeted solutions.
