About This Provider
Dr. Shuruq Alturki specializes in orofacial pain at the Tufts Craniofacial Pain Center, part of Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, MA. Orofacial pain conditions, including TMJ disorders, jaw muscle pain, facial nerve pain, and headaches tied to dental structures, are among the most under-diagnosed problems patients face. General dentists and primary care physicians often miss them because they fall between medical and dental care. Working within one of the oldest dental schools in the United States, founded in 1868, Dr. Alturki practices within an integrated academic clinical environment built for these complex, often chronic conditions. The center incorporates emerging practice models and technologies as part of a curriculum designed around contemporary clinical care. The Craniofacial Pain Center bills medical insurance rather than dental insurance, which reflects the medical nature of these conditions and may open access to care for patients who have been turned away elsewhere. For patients who have seen multiple providers without resolution, the academic setting at Tufts provides integrated, research-informed clinical care.
