Overview of Orofacial Pains
by Andrew Young, DDS
General Membership Meeting


Concord Plaza Hotel
(formerly Crowne Plaza Concord/Walnut Creek)
45 John Glenn Dr
Concord, CA  94520

Dentists are diagnosing and treating pain throughout their day.  Most cases are straightforward, but occasionally there are cases that look like they could be something other than the typical.  This overview of orofacial pains will help dentists figure out which type of pain they are encountering, by describing the distinguishing features of all types of pain in the oral and facial region.  With this ability, dentists will then be able to help their suffering patients toward timely pain relief by either treating when appropriate, or referring to the appropriate specialist.   

In this course, you will learn:

  • The distinguishing features of:
    • TMD
    • Neuropathic pain
    • Headache
    • Sinus-related pain
  • How to differentiate the above from each other and from dental pain
  • How to refer

    •  

    Andrew Young received his DDS from UCSF, his GPR certificate from the VA, and his MSD in Orofacial Pain from Rutgers School of Dental Medicine.  He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orofacial Pain, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Orofacial Pain.  He is the director of orofacial pain UOP, and has published 37 peer-reviewed articles.  He also heads UOP’s Evidence-Based Decision-Making and Critical Thinking curriculum, which teaches appraisal of the scientific literature.

    *In order to avoid wasting members’ money, those who do not show up at the meeting will be charged $45 if they do not cancel by the registration deadline (Friday, Nov. 4th at 5PM), due to the hotel requiring a firm meal count as of that time. The total cost including tax, tip, and parking is $85+ per meal, paid by CCDS. Thank you for your cooperation.
