Referrals

A Trusted Resource for Complex Orofacial Pain

Dr Robinson-Smith is dedicated to diagnosing and managing complex, chronic, and often difficult-to-treat conditions of the head, neck, and face.

We partner with referring providers to help solve challenging cases, clarify diagnoses, and support long-term patient care.

When to Refer

Consider referral when your patient presents with:

  • Persistent or unexplained facial, jaw, or head pain
  • Suspected temporomandibular disorders (TMD)
  • Neuropathic pain (e.g., trigeminal neuralgia)
  • Atypical tooth pain or suspected cracked tooth syndrome without clear findings
  • Chronic headaches with possible orofacial contribution
  • Burning mouth syndrome or oral dysesthesia
  • Complex oral mucosal or vesiculobullous conditions
  • Xerostomia or salivary gland dysfunction
  • Symptoms that have not responded to standard treatment

We specialize in cases that are unclear, refractory, or outside typical treatment pathways.
