Trigeminal neuralgia

Trigeminal neuralgia is a long-term pain disorder that affects the trigeminal nerve, causing intense and debilitating pain.

Three quarters of patients with TN initially attend a dentist, believing the pain is a very severe toothache. The dental team must be aware of the condition to avoid unnecessary dental treatment, know how to diagnose it, and be able to advise the patient on the treatment options.

The Trigeminal neuralgia online learning course has clear and concise aims, objectives and anticipated outcomes, listed below. These will appear on the Dentaljuce Enhanced CPD Certificate, along with the time spent, dates, and detailed topics you studied within the module. Certificates can be printed at any time, covering any range of dates. Dentaljuce CPD complies with the UK GDC's requirements for enhanced verifiable continuing professional development.

Your Professional Development Plan (PDP) Regulatory authorities recommend that CPD/CE is undertaken based on learning needs that you have identified and entered into your PDP. Some authorities may not accept your CPD as verifiable unless it has been identified in the PDP before you undertake it.

Before starting this module, check that the learning outcomes are what you require, and that you have entered the need into your PDP. Here is an example PDP entry for this module.
