Occlusion is a basic tenet of dentistry. Not every patient should be treated for occlusal discrepancies--many patients will go a lifetime with a less than ideal occlusion and experience no symptoms. Many cases of headache and facial pain have nothing to do with occlusion. Nevertheless, I believe advanced training in occlusion is an extremely valuable and essential part of everyday dentistry. This training should start at the undergraduate level in the dental schools.
