Dr. Anuar Sammy Odeh, DMD is an orofacial pain specialist at NSU College of Dental Medicine's Orofacial Pain Department in Davie, Florida. He practices in one of the first dedicated orofacial pain departments in dentistry, established after the American Dental Association formally recognized orofacial pain as a dental specialty in March 2020. Dr. Odeh evaluates and treats patients suffering from jaw joint disorders, facial pain, headaches, nerve pain, and conditions like burning mouth and dry mouth. He uses CT and MRI imaging to reach precise diagnoses and then draws from a broad toolkit that includes TMJ therapy, bite therapy, physical therapy, postural reeducation, and cognitive behavioral strategies. What distinguishes Dr. Odeh's approach is the department's commitment to multidisciplinary care. When a case calls for it, he coordinates directly with physical therapists, neurologists, rheumatologists, clinical psychologists, and other specialists to address the full scope of a patient's condition. This team-based model reflects the complexity of orofacial pain and ensures patients receive targeted, evidence-informed treatment rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
