There are different causes for orofacial pain, and it can be easily classified into dental conditions, neuropathic conditions, atypical facial pain, and TMD disorders
The most common cause of orofacial pain is dental condition. Any pain that originates in the teeth, gums, and surrounding areas of the teeth are known to be of dental origin. The pain can be limited to the tooth or radiate to other areas. It can involve any tooth, including the third molars.The pain due to wisdom tooth radiates to neck , ear and temporal region and it is very crucial to identify this pain at an early stage.
The TMJ, or temporomandibular joint, connects the skull with the lower jaw. Pain in this joint is called temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). The most common cause of TMD is misaligned teeth, which put extra stress on the joint. The cause of TMD is sometimes in the joint itself, mostly related to the ligaments or the joint capsule.
