    Abstract:
    The past several decades have heralded new insights into the many ramifications of pain. The mind-body connection must be appreciated in the assessment and care of the temporomandibular disorder/orofacial pain patient. Recognizing key indicators of psychological distress and their impact on the total pain experience is essential to optimizing treatment outcomes. It currently is understood that pain, especially chronic or recurrent pain, crosses all disciplines of health care with regard to diagnosis and management. This article will discuss the importance of including clinical and health psychology as a part of the health care team.
