What happens on your first visit?
An orofacial pain dentist or physician will evaluate and review your current symptoms and medical history, examine area of the face, teeth, jaw, head and neck, and order any diagnostic testing if necessary. Typically this will include radiographs, imaging studies, and questionnaires. Also, the dentist will provide a self-care program to begin to reduce any strain to the area and encourage healing. A treatment plan will be developed to provide pain relief. If necessary, it will sent to your insurer for prior authorization, and a summary letter will go out to your referring doctor.
