Orofacial Pain
Relieving Discomfort and Protecting Your Smile
Understanding Orofacial Pain
At Dentistry of Upland, we know that orofacial pain can disrupt daily life and affect your overall well-being. This discomfort may involve the jaw, face, head, or teeth, and can have many underlying causes. Left untreated, it can lead to chronic problems, difficulty chewing, or even long-term damage to your teeth and jaw. Common causes of orofacial pain include:
Clenching or grinding (bruxism) that strains teeth and jaw muscles
Muscle tension or headaches linked to bite alignment issues
Cracks, fractures, or dental trauma affecting tooth nerves
