General Statement

     It is difficult to successfully treat the many pain disorders that we diagnose. It is nearly impossible if we don't spend the time to know and understand our patients. Dr. Roth has been treating facial pain patients for over 25 years.

     Dr. Roth has completed advanced training in the management and diagnosis of orofacial pain and temporomandibular joint disorders at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. He is a diplomat of the American Board of Orofacial Pain and has served as a member of it's Examination Council. He has also been awarded a Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry. Being a member in the National Headache Foundation   and American Academy of Orofacial Pain (AAOP), he maintains his knowledge in his chosen area.

     The quotation at the top of this page sits over the desk in his office. To complete a differential diagnosis and determine the course of treatment, a thorough medical history and comprehensive physical examination are essential. Dr. Roth schedules at least one hour of his time for your initial visit as one of our pain patients, plus extra time with our staff. In addition to the diagnosis it is important that you understand the treatment and prognosis. We also provide ample time to have all of your questions answered. Successful treatment must be an ongoing partnership between doctor and patient.
