Jaw/ear pain: These are common symptoms of tmj/tmd. Tmj pain usually results from bruxism (chronic grinding and/or clenching the teeth), or a bad bite. Headaches, sinus pain and ear pain are also common. See your dentist to evaluate and treat for tmd, and an ENT specialist or your medical doctor to evaluate any ear infections.
