We strive to provide services that are (1) based on current research, and (2) as conservative as possible.
Dr. Andrew Young holds a master's degree (MSD) in Orofacial Pain, is board-certified with the American Board of Orofacial Pain, and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Orofacial Pain.
Services address a variety of painful conditions. Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) involve pain of the jaw joints and associated muscles, dislocations, and/or limitation in opening. Other conditions, such as nerve-related pain, present with sharp, shooting, radiating, burning, throbbing, aching, tingling, or simply odd sensations, particularly in or around the mouth. We diagnose and manage such conditions when your dentist has decided there is no clear dental cause for your pain. We maintain good communication with your dentist, and work with other specialists when needed.
Services are provided by our faculty, and fees are comparable to other professional centers. Occasionally dental students, residents, or licensed health care providers are in attendance. X-rays, if needed, are charged separately. Payments are due at the time of each visit. Services usually fall under medical codes. Major credit cards are accepted.
