🦷What is Orofacial Pain?
Orofacial pain refers to pain in the face, mouth, jaws, or related structures. It can range from mild discomfort to severe pain, often impacting speech, eating, and overall well-being. This condition may be caused by dental problems, nerve issues, or muscle dysfunction.
Causes may include:

- Muscle dysfunction
- Sinus or ear-related conditions
- Trauma or injury
It is important to address orofacial pain promptly because untreated pain can worsen over time, affecting both physical health and mental well-being. Early diagnosis ensures effective treatment and faster recovery.
