ENT SOS!: All the areas in question are all related. This is why many of us dentists work closely with ENT doctors/surgeons. As the name suggests, the ent--ears-nose-throat--speciality doctors are trained to treat this intricate sensory/respiratory/digestive/motor functional unit. Non-ideal bite and joint (TMJ) position may be involved, in which case an ENT doctor can refer you to a dentist w/ knowledge.
