A doctor of dental surgery honors graduate from the Loyola University Dental School in 1984, Dr. Blaine Cusack cares for patients at LaGrange Jaw Pain Management. His responsibilities include general biological dentistry, orthopedics, and orthodontics. Dr. Blaine Cusack is a member of a number of associations related to his work, including the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain (AACP). Established in 1985, AACP promotes a common platform for education and awareness regarding craniofacial pain, dental sleep medicine, and temporomandibular disorders. Cranial facial pain relates to any discomfort associated with the skull and facial bones. The group's primary objectives include enhancing professional standards within the discipline, encouraging research, ongoing education and awareness among practitioners and the public, and awarding excellence within the field. Accepting enrollment from different countries, membership to AACP varies, with distinct categories and fees depending on dental practice experience, from student members to different experience levels. For example, a full member pays $449 to join, with US students and associate members paying $99 and $149, respectively. Membership benefits include referral listing in one's region of practice and discounted fees on symposiums and educational forums. Members also gain access to webinars, professional networking opportunities, the organization's updated case studies, clinical tips, and bibliographies of authoritative craniofacial literature.
