Abstract
This is the final article in a series looking at psychiatric presentations in dentistry. Recently, the oral health of people with severe mental illness (SMI) has gained significant media attention after the Office of the Chief Dental Officer for England published a statement on the importance of prioritizing oral health for people with SMI. Furthermore, a consensus statement has set out a 5-year plan to improve oral health in people with SMI. In Part 4, we discussed how a psychiatric disorder can result in dental pathology by contributing to risk factors associated with tooth surface loss. This article explores chronic orofacial pain symptoms and their link with psychiatry, considering the role of the primary dental care team in early recognition of psychiatric disorders. Given the range of chronic orofacial pain subtypes, we will present two separate fictionalized case-based discussions to explore their presentation.
CPD/Clinical Relevance: The primary care dental team has a role in recognition of psychiatric conditions and subsequent chronic orofacial pain.
