TMJ symptoms include: There are multiple aspects of TMJ problems including ear pain, headaches and jaw pain. These symptoms usually mean the system is not working properly and pain is an indication of dysfunction and compromise. These problems do not "fix themselves" as you will have to find someone who can help you find and treat the causes of your problems, not just deal with the symptoms. Good luck.

Yes: Yes. Classic TMJ symptoms. See a TMJ expert for diagnosis and treatment. Any dentist can be a TMJ expert with the proper training and experience. Most commonly, oral surgeons, prosthodontists, and orofacial pain specialists. Ask your MD, your dentist and your dental society for referrals.
