About This Provider

Dr. Hillary Critchlow Metcalf, D.M.D. is an orofacial pain specialist serving patients at two locations: Portsmouth, Virginia and Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Orofacial pain dentistry is a recognized specialty dedicated to the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of chronic pain affecting the face, jaw, mouth, and connected structures. Conditions within this specialty include temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, neuropathic facial pain, persistent headaches of dental origin, and sleep-related breathing disorders. These conditions are frequently misdiagnosed because their symptoms closely mimic ear infections, migraines, and sinus disease. Patients commonly spend years consulting multiple providers without a clear diagnosis before reaching a trained orofacial pain specialist. Dr. Metcalf brings this focused diagnostic expertise to patients across her two-location practice, giving communities in the Portsmouth, Virginia area and the Camp Lejeune, North Carolina region access to specialty care for complex pain conditions that general dentistry alone is not equipped to resolve.
