Managing TMD pain

Facial pain can be challenging to assess for its underlying cause. In addition, having the potential for chronicity can complicate management strategies. When the cause is nondental, which is not uncommon, dentists can struggle to determine what is happening and to craft an appropriate intervention. Headache can be one of those pain disorders that can be challenging, especially headache associated with TMDs. Focusing specifically on headache of temporomandibular origin, a pattern for approaching the patient, making an appropriate diagnosis, and selecting proper management protocols was discussed.
