About This Provider

Dr. Preetanjali Thakur holds a BDS and MS and is a board-certified Diplomate of the American Board of Orofacial Pain (ABOP Certification #ABOP1469, certified 2017). She serves as an associate provider at Minnesota Head and Neck Pain Clinic, a recognized Center of Excellence in pain management and an active participant in the NIH TMD IMPACT research collaborative. Dr. Thakur evaluates and treats the full range of orofacial pain conditions, from temporomandibular disorders and trigeminal neuralgia to burning mouth syndrome and bruxism-related headaches. Her clinical approach is evidence-based, conservative, and non-surgical by design. She draws on a 16-provider team spanning dentistry, medicine, health psychology, and physical therapy to build individualized care plans. Rather than masking pain, Dr. Thakur prioritizes patient self-management skills, behavioral strategies, and targeted interventions that address root causes of chronic facial and jaw pain. For patients who have cycled through multiple providers without a clear answer, her board certification and interdisciplinary training provide the diagnostic depth their case requires.
