Dentist Against Oro-Facial Pain

The emerging field of oro-facial pain was considered by the American Dental Association for full status as a new dental specialty. Many recent advances in the neuroscience of oro-facial pain have led to treatments that provide significant relief for patients with chronic oro-facial pain disorders. However, access to this care has been limited, leaving many patients to suffer. A recent survey of 805 individuals who reported having a persistent pain disorder revealed that more than four out of 10 people have yet to find adequate relief, saying their pain is out of control–despite having the pain for more than five years and switching doctors at least once. “This survey suggests that there are millions of people living with severe uncontrolled pain,” says Russell Portenoy, MD, president of the American Pain Society. “This is a great tragedy. Although not everyone can be helped, it is likely that most of these patients could benefit if provided with state-of-the-art therapies and improved access to pain specialists when needed. Historically, patients with complex chronic oro-facial pain disorders have not been treated well by any discipline of healthcare. Recent studies of chronic oro-facial pain patients have found that these patients have a higher number of previous clinicians and have endured many years with pain prior to seeing an oro-facial pain dentist.
