Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is a medical subspecialty that can help treat diseases and disorders of the face, head, neck, and soft tissues of the jaw. It can include surgical and non-surgical interventions for issues of this sort. While it is generally considered a subspecialty of medicine, it is also closely related to dentistry. In fact, some oral and maxillofacial surgeons may even work with dental problems or in conjunction with dentists to solve oral and dental complications.

Pain management is a wide branch of medical study, and it can include a complete range of different therapies for those suffering from pain. Since pain can come from many parts of the body for different reasons, the solutions will differ greatly. Some doctors will prescribe pain medication to their patients, but in recent years, there has been a push to explore more medication-free pain management options, such as physical therapy, surgery, and even acupuncture and other alternative therapies.
