About This Provider

Dr. Jeffry Shaefer is a board-certified orofacial pain specialist practicing in Boston, MA. He holds an active Diplomate credential from the American Board of Orofacial Pain (ABOP1201), the highest professional recognition in his specialty and a distinction held by only a small fraction of dentists who treat complex facial pain. His training path is unusually rigorous: a Doctor of Dental Surgery from Georgetown University, a General Practice Residency, a specialized fellowship in orofacial pain through the United States Air Force, and a focused residency at the University of Minnesota, a nationally recognized program in orofacial pain management. This layered background prepares Dr. Shaefer to evaluate and treat the full spectrum of facial pain conditions, including temporomandibular joint disorders, trigeminal neuralgia, persistent facial pain, and headache disorders that mimic or overlap with dental problems. Patients who have seen multiple providers without a clear diagnosis benefit from working with a specialist who brings both military-trained clinical discipline and the highest academic certification available in the field.
