Understanding Facial Pain
Facial pain treatment focuses on diagnosing and managing pain originating from the jaw joints, surrounding muscles, and associated nerves. Research has shown that a significant proportion of chronic facial pain is linked to temporomandibular disorders and muscular overactivity rather than dental disease alone. A review published in the Journal of Oral Rehabilitation highlights that conservative, non-invasive therapies can significantly reduce pain intensity and improve jaw function in affected patients.
“Non-surgical management remains the first-line approach for most patients with chronic facial pain related to temporomandibular disorders.”
Further studies demonstrate that personalised treatment plans, including bite assessment, muscle relaxation techniques, and behavioural guidance, can lead to long-term symptom improvement. According to research in the Journal of the American Dental Association, addressing contributing factors such as clenching, grinding, and postural strain is essential for sustainable relief. By focusing on the root cause rather than masking symptoms, facial pain treatment aims to reduce recurrence and enhance quality of life. Call today to discuss your symptoms and explore your treatment options.
“Effective management of facial pain requires a multidisciplinary, patient-centred approach that prioritises conservative care.”
When To Seek This Treatment
Persistent facial pain or discomfort
Pain when chewing or speaking
Recurring headaches or a feeling of tightness in the face can be linked to jaw-related issues.
When dental examinations do not explain your symptoms, a functional facial pain assessment may be appropriate.
