Orofacial pain refers to pain felt in the mouth, jaw, face, or head. It can result from a variety of conditions, including:
The temporomandibular joint, your “jaw joint,” is one of the most complex joints in the body. In addition to moving up and down, it moves forward, back, and side to side, all controlled by an intricate network of muscles, ligaments, and other soft tissue.
When these delicately balanced temporomandibular joints, chewing muscles, or articular discs work incorrectly, the jaw joints often misalign and “pop” or “lock,” muscles frequently cramp or go into spasms, and nerve pain can occur. Left unresolved, this results in tissue damage, chronic pain, and muscle tenderness.
Ehlers–Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a group of inherited connective tissue disorders that affect the body’s collagen. Since collagen plays a critical role in the mouth, teeth, gums, and jaw joints, people with EDS often face unique dental challenges.
EDS & dentistry refers to specialized dental care tailored for patients with this condition. Because their oral tissues are more fragile and healing may take longer, dentists adapt treatments to ensure safety, comfort, and long-term oral health.
