Even Dentists get TMJ pain. And when they do, they trust an Orofacial Pain specialist. Grateful for the opportunity to help our fellow colleagues feel and function better ✨

Kevin knew how to ask the right questions 😉
Here’s one you should be asking too: 👉🏼Is your TMJ doctor a board certified Orofacial pain specialist?
Orofacial pain is the only recognized dental specialty recognized by the American Dental Association for diagnosing and treating TMJ disorders and facial pain-which means other approaches are not ADA-recognized and training and methods can vary. Find a specialist near you by visiting www.abop.net
When it comes to your jaw, trust the experts 😉

Honoring our veteran patients, dental and medical colleagues, and every veteran who served our great nation. From our team, thank you. ❤️🤍💙

Big congrats to Dr. Sainsbury for being inducted into the American College of Dentists. This recognition is a great honor and we are grateful for Dr. Larin for sponsoring him. We were able to celebrate with Dr. Jeff Brockett and Dr. Sussi Yamaguchi also from San Diego. Seeing Dr. Bob Hanlon and having his support was great.
The ACD’s mission is to advance excellence, ethics, professionalism, and leadership in oral healthcare.

We had a great time at the San Diego County Dental Foundation Gala at the Mission Bay Resort to raise money for the John Geis dental clinic. This event gives guests an opportunity to help the clinic continue to provide essential dental care to those in need in our area. We enjoyed spending time with great people and seeing so many of our wonderful dental colleagues. Cheers to a great one this year and we can’t wait for next year’s event!

🗣️October is Facial Pain Awareness Month
Facial pain isn’t “just stress” or “just TMJ.” It can affect your ability to eat, speak, and even smile.

As an Orofacial Pain specialist, Dr. Sainsbury helps patients uncover the true source of their pain-whether it’s muscular, joint-related, nerve-based, or sleep sleep-related disorders.
✨Relief starts with the right diagnosis.

10/03/2025

Facial pain is complicated — and treating it requires more than a one-size-fits-all approach.

That’s why Dr. Sainsbury dedicated his career to the specialty of Orofacial Pain, a field recognized by the American Dental Association. With advanced training, he treats not just TMJ, but also chronic headaches, nerve pain, jaw disorders, and sleep-related conditions.

Patients often find their way to Dr. Sainsbury after trying different treatments that didn’t bring relief. His specialty training allows him to uncover the why behind the pain and create a plan that’s truly individualized.

When it comes to your health, expertise matters — and this is the difference a specialist makes. 💙

Happy birthday to our fearless leader, Dr. Sainsbury🎊 We celebrated yesterday with half of our team and patients. Hoping you feel all the love today and many years to come!

👂🏽Ringing in your ears? It might not just be your ears…it could be your jaw.

Dr. Sainsbury recently had the honor of being invited to UCSD and present how he helps patients manage both jaw pain and ear symptoms.

He’ll be joining a team of doctors and biomedical engineers on a research project to further study this connection and improve treatment options. 👨🏻‍⚕️🦷

This work is a great example of how the field of Orofacial Pain is bridging the gap between medicine and dentistry, bringing together expertise from both worlds to transform patient care. 💙

If your ‘TMJ pain’ hasn’t responded to typical treatments, it might not be your jaw joint at all. Not all facial pain is dental- some cases are actually neuralgias, which are nerve-related conditions that feel like electric shocks, burning, or stabbing pain.

Neuralgias- like trigeminal or glossopharyngeal-can mimic TMJ or dental issues and has been known to be called the ‘suicide disease.’

Orofacial Pain specialists are trained to diagnose and manage nerve pain, often brining relief when other treatments have failed.

✨If you’ve been told it’s in your head…come see someone who treats heads.
