? TMJ?: If your dentist or oral surgeon has tried all of their potential treatments, then alternative treatments could help! I have had success with chiropractor / accupressure and accupuncture for such symptoms. Good luck!

Great idea: I am currently getting good results using auricular (ear) acupuncture for several patients with severe jaw pain. I would assume that acupressure could also be beneficial. It is important that it be medically evaluated - talk with your physician about use of acupuncture.
