Start by....: Start by seeing and consulting with your local general dentist. He\she will evaluate your dental problems and refer you, if necessary, to someone with more training and experience treating patients with tmd\tmjoint problems if that is what is needed. On the other hand, your pain may be related to any one of a number of tooth and\or gum issues.
