How is Orofacial Pain Managed
Overseas?
Many countries have recognized the need for high quality
evidence-based management of Orofacial Pain. The current
limited practical training in caring for patients with
Orofacial Pain within both medical and dental training
programs results in most health care providers
preferring to refer these patients to a specialist. A
USA based survey of 405 health care professionals found
that 95% either refer, or would like to refer, complex
chronic Orofacial Pain patients to a specialist.

The first meeting of the American Academy of Orofacial
Pain was held in 1975 in New York City. The need was
evident for an organization that would improve the
quality of the diagnoses and management of orofacial
pain, and offer a forum for the exchange of information
among the various authorities in the field.
The original name of the organization was The American
Academy of Craniomandibular Orthopedics. This name was
changed in 1981 to The American Academy of
Craniomandibular Disorders and then again to The
American Academy of Orofacial Pain in 1992 to reflect
the focus of the discipline to include complex chronic
orofacial pain disorders. While the
UMEAO was founded primarily
by dentists it is open to all health care providers with
training and interest in the treatment of OFP and TMD.
Suffering from chronic headaches, affects every
aspect of life. While various treatments exist, did you
know that one less-known yet highly effective approach
lies within the realms of neuromuscular dentistry?
We all seek unique perspective on treating headaches
that stem from dental-related issues.
