What is orofacial pain and what conditions does it cover?
Orofacial pain is a dental specialty focused on chronic or recurring pain in the face, jaw, mouth, and head. It covers conditions such as TMJ disorders, jaw muscle pain, facial nerve pain, and headache disorders connected to jaw function. These conditions require a specialist's diagnostic approach because they often mimic other disorders and are frequently missed in routine dental or medical care.
What does ABOP Diplomate status mean for patients?
The ABOP Diplomate credential is the highest professional designation in orofacial pain dentistry. Earning it requires passing board examinations and demonstrating advanced clinical competency. Active status, which Dr. Teruel Castellon has maintained since 2009, means she continues to meet the board's ongoing requirements, confirming her expertise remains current.

Should I see Dr. Teruel Castellon instead of my regular dentist for jaw pain?
If your jaw pain is recurring, severe, or has not improved with treatment from a general dentist, an orofacial pain specialist is the better choice. Dr. Teruel Castellon's ABOP board certification means she has advanced training specifically for diagnosing and managing complex pain conditions involving the jaw, face, and head that go beyond what general dentistry addresses.

Why a specialist

Why see an orofacial pain specialist?

Orofacial pain specialists are dentists with advanced training in diagnosing and treating chronic pain conditions involving the face, jaw, mouth, and head. Most patients with these conditions spend years seeing general dentists, neurologists, or ENTs without finding answers. Conditions like TMJ disorders, jaw muscle pain, and facial nerve pain require a specialist who understands how the jaw, teeth, muscles, and nervous system interact. Dr. Teruel Castellon earned her ABOP Diplomate certification in 2009 and has held active board certification in this specialty for over 17 years. The ABOP credential is the national standard for orofacial pain specialists, requiring demonstrated clinical expertise beyond dental school. For patients in Scottsdale dealing with chronic jaw pain, facial pain, or unexplained head pain, a board-certified specialist like Dr. Teruel Castellon offers diagnostic precision that routine dental or medical care often cannot provide.
