The referral practice Orofacial pain Nijmegen is located within Tandartsen Weeshuis. Here, patients with jaw complaints and facial pain can come for examination, diagnosis, and, if necessary, treatment upon referral.
Orofacial pain focuses on complaints of the masticatory system, including the temporomandibular joints, masticatory muscles and the interaction with teeth and molars.
Complaints in the masticatory system can manifest in various ways, such as:
These complaints can affect daily activities, such as eating, talking or yawning, and sometimes also disrupt work, social contacts or sleep.
Jaw complaints often arise from overloading the masticatory muscles or the temporomandibular joint. This may be related to unconscious oral habits, such as:
Stress often plays an important role in this. With prolonged stress, these habits and, consequently, the complaints often increase.
At the referral practice Gnathology Nijmegen, we always first try to make a careful diagnosis. Because jaw complaints and related complaints such as tinnitus often have a multifactorial cause, we look beyond just the teeth.
Treatment is only started when it is clear where the complaints come from and what is useful in your situation.
