About This Provider
Dr. Azusa Kuwashima holds a DDS and PhD in Prosthodontics from Nihon University School of Dentistry at Matsudo, Japan, with doctoral research focused on bruxism, oral behaviors, and temporomandibular disorders. She completed advanced specialty training through a Certificate in Orofacial Pain and Dental Sleep Medicine at UCLA and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orofacial Pain (Certification ABOP1466, active since 2019). She is also a Fellow of the American Academy of Orofacial Pain with published research articles and scientific meeting presentations on TMD and orofacial pain. At Texas TMJ Sleep & Facial Pain, Dr. Kuwashima evaluates and treats TMJ disorders, myofascial pain, migraines, cluster headaches, occipital neuralgia, neuropathic facial pain, burning mouth syndrome, bruxism, and obstructive sleep apnea. Her treatment approach is nonsurgical and individualized, designed to address root causes rather than manage symptoms in isolation. The combination of PhD-level research expertise, board certification in orofacial pain, and UCLA-trained dental sleep medicine knowledge positions Dr. Kuwashima as one of the more comprehensively credentialed specialists in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for patients who have not found answers through general dental or medical care.
