Oral Medicine treats medical issues of the soft tissue of the mouth. Our specialists work with patients who have been referred by a physician or dentist for issues such as lesions of the mouth and oral health problems related to systemic disease.
Our Orofacial Pain specialists provide care for referred patients for the diagnosis and treatment of pain disorders in the mouth, jaw, face and neck, with an emphasis on Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD).
