SUMMARY:General Monthly Meeting: Overview of Orofacial Pain - 9/9/27
DESCRIPTION:While most of your patients’ pains will be from the teeth\, periodontium\, or a temporomandibular disorder\, some will have pain for other reasons: sinusitis\, referred pain\, neuralgias (trigeminal neuralgia\, burning mouth syndrome\, etc)\, and headaches\, to name a few. \nDentists are not expected to treat all of these but because they can sometimes look like dental pain or TMD\, dentists should still be able to recognize them. \nThis course will help you tell which of the above categories of pain (and a few more) your patient is suffering from\, when it’s not already clear. That determination will help you decide whether to treat the pain yourself\, or refer it out to the appropriate specialist. \nObjectives: \n\nDifferentiate between pain caused by teeth\, periodontium\, TMD\, sinusitis\, referred pain\, neuralgias (trigeminal neuralgia\, burning mouth syndrome\, etc)\, and headaches\nKnow when\, and to whom\, non-dental pains should be referred\n\n  \nBiography: \nAndrew Young received his DDS from UCSF\, his GPR certificate from the VA\, and his MSD in Orofacial Pain from Rutgers School of Dental Medicine. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orofacial Pain and the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine\, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Orofacial Pain. He is an Associate Professor with Tenure at UOP\, where he is the director of orofacial pain. He also heads UOP’s Evidence-Based Decision-Making and Critical Thinking curriculum\, which teaches appraisal of the scientific literature. He has published over 50 review and original research articles in peer-reviewed journals. \n  \n  \n
