Dr. Seema Kurup is a board-certified Diplomate of the American Board of Orofacial Pain (ABOP), placing her among a select group of dentists in the United States who have earned formal certification in this specialty. She practices at UConn Health in Farmington, Connecticut, where she focuses on diagnosing and treating orofacial pain and temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Her ABOP Diplomate credential (Certification No. ABOP1542, active as of 2020) requires demonstrated mastery of clinical knowledge, diagnostic skill, and patient care standards specific to facial pain. These conditions are frequently misdiagnosed or overlooked in general dental and medical settings. Orofacial pain and TMD encompass a wide range of presentations: jaw joint dysfunction, chronic facial pain, bite-related headaches, and nerve pain that can persist for years without a clear diagnosis. Patients who have seen multiple providers without resolution often find that board-certified specialist evaluation is the turning point toward meaningful, targeted care.
