About This Provider

Dr. Thiago Nascimento, DDS, MMedSc, MS is a board-certified orofacial pain specialist and Diplomate of the American Board of Orofacial Pain (ABOP Diplomate #1552). With 20 years of clinical research experience, he brings a depth of scientific knowledge that few pain clinicians can match. Dr. Nascimento completed a specialty residency in orofacial pain, a post-doctoral training path that only a small fraction of dentists pursue, and earned board certification in 2022, placing him among a select group of credentialed experts in this field nationwide. He practices at Minnesota Head & Neck Pain Clinic, a 40-year-old interdisciplinary center recognized as a Center of Excellence in pain management by the American Pain Society. The clinic's 16-provider team spans dentistry, medicine, physical therapy, and health psychology, giving Dr. Nascimento access to a collaborative care structure that is uncommon in private practice. His approach prioritizes non-surgical, reversible interventions first, grounded in evidence-based protocols that address the biological, psychological, and social contributors to chronic face, jaw, and head pain. For patients who have cycled through multiple providers without a clear diagnosis, Dr. Nascimento offers a systematic evaluation process designed to find the true source of pain and build a care plan around it.
