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.

What to expect in treatment?

After your first visit, an individual treatment plan will be developed that typically may take 2 to 4 months, but may be longer for complex conditions. Referrals are made for medical consultations. Appointments with the physical therapist and/or health psychologist may be recommended to help reduce the pain. To begin treatment, the dentist often will insert a splint (mouthguard and/or prescribe medications. The physical therapist may give you exercises to help restore function and ease pain. The health psychologist will train you to relax your muscles and reduce other specific contributing factors. Relief usually occurs gradually, over 2-4 months, and depends on patient compliance.

Are these services covered by insurance?

Services in our clinic are often covered under your medical insurance. Please check your policy before your evaluation so you know what benefits are covered. If a referral is needed, please check with your physician before your first appointment. Patients are responsible for payment of their account. We will send a pre-authorization form to your insurance carrier if required.
