Ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular branches of the trigeminal nerve provide sensory innervation to orofacial tissues. Trigeminal sensory neurons respond to a diverse array of sensory stimuli to generate distinct sensations, including thermosensation, mechanosensation, itching, and pain. These sensory neurons also detect the distinct sharpness or pungency of many foods and beverages. This SnapShot highlights the transduction ion channels critical to orofacial sensation.
