Orofacial pain symtoms
Do you suffer from one or more of the following symptoms below?
Beyond general dentistry
The inability to recognise the characteristics of orafacial pain can result in misdiagnosis. In many cases, unnecessary, irreversible and costly dental treatments are performed to the patient’s detriment.
Some of the key differences between a general dentist and an orofacial pain doctor is in their area of education, training and experience.
This includes knowledge of causes and treatment options for orofacial pain such as sleep disorders, temporomandibular joint disorders, neuropathic pain and more.
Here are some greatest red flags to watch out for when seeking treatment for orofacial pain and TMD.

Your dental visit requires an initial consultation and examination before each treatment. This might involve a comprehensive analysis of your jaw, head and neck conditions using the most suitable technology.
Dr. Eric Chionh is formally trained in Oral Medicine and Orofacial Pain, and holds a Singapore Dental Council approved qualification in these areas.
Rest assured that you are in good hands with his dental expertise, experience and practicality. He is very interested in treating patients with pain and sleep dentistry issues.
The first consultation lasts an average of 1 – 1.5 hours. Dr. Chionh will provide you with a diagnosis and treatment plan at the end of the clinical examination.
Holistic services available
The treatments at our clinic are integrated with optional holistic services. We want to go beyond the symptoms of your pain, so we can find out what is really causing it. We work together with every stage of the healing process in order to provide you with total health care.
Such holistic treatments can have a longer lasting effect and improve your quality of life. We work closely with a physical therapist and nutritionist. These services offer you a more complete and balanced point of view, and also expand your range of treatment options.
