Orofacial Medicin is a specialized clinic located in Växjö that provides focused services in orofacial medicine. The clinic operates across three locations: Växjö Hospital, Rättspsykiatriska Clinic, and Ljungby Hospital. It caters to patients who require specialized care due to severe medical conditions, disabilities, or dental anxiety. The clinic employs a collaborative approach, particularly for treating dental anxiety, by working with a psychotherapist who utilizes cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) methods.
The primary goal of Orofacial Medicin is to help patients transition to regular dental care, ensuring they receive the necessary support and treatment tailored to their individual needs. The clinic is led by Clinic Chief Pernilla Juréus and is part of a broader network of healthcare services in the region, which enhances the continuum of care available to patients. Access to treatment at the clinic requires a referral, and e-services are offered to improve patient convenience and engagement in their care process.
