Orofacial Pain Disorders usually arise from the brain and nerves and affect the head/neck area. They are also often chronic and difficult to diagnose. Some of the many Orofacial Pain Conditions we see regularly in our office include Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN), which is a neuropathic disorder that often appears suddenly as a sharp, shooting pain lasting a few seconds and can be triggered by a touch or a slight movement in a specific area and TMD (also known as TMJ). Other Orofacial Pain Conditions Dr. Simmons treats include Muscle Movement disorders, toothaches without dental causes (Phantom Tooth Pain), neuralgias and more.
