This unique symposium will help dentists understand what physicians do in a diagnostic workup and treatment of overlapping craniofacial pain and provide a strong understanding of how and when our medical colleagues can assist us with patient care and how to establish referral relationships across various physician specialties.
Designed for dental practices who have attended Session 1,
Pinpoint the Pain seminar, or can provide confirmation of a base education in craniofacial pain, this symposium is the 2nd course in a 2-part series that provides dentists an opportunity to better understand common pain complaints in the head and neck, how to diagnose pain and, to know when it’s necessary to refer for management.
It is important for dentists to understand their role in craniofacial pain, but it is vital to understand what physicians do in a diagnostic workup and treatment of overlapping craniofacial pain. Part 1 paves the way for Part 2 and the understanding of physicians’ duties. After Part 2, dentists will better understand the roles of an ENT, Neurologist, Physiatrist, Physical Therapist, and Psychiatrist in the treatment of craniofacial pain. Dentists will have greater knowledge of craniofacial pain to better treat their patients, whether alone or alongside a trusted physician.
Part 2 Topics:
- The role of an ENT and the various conditions in their discipline that might mimic orofacial pain.
- The role of a Neurologist, and the various neurological and headache conditions that they diagnose and treat.
- The role of a Physiatrist in cervical issues that refer pain to the orofacial area.
- The role pain has on sleep and vice versa.
- The role of a Physical Therapist in cervical and myofacial pain.
- The role of a Psychiatrist and how anxiety and depression affect pain.
- The use of imaging for identifying orofacial pain conditions.
- Inflammation and nutrition in relation to craniofacial pain.
- Where an orofacial pain dentist fits into this model alongside physicians.
At the end of these two sessions, dentists will gain a better understanding of not only their role in the diagnosis and treatment of craniofacial pain, but how they can work alongside physicians during the process.
