TMJ: Sounds like this could be TMJ disease. You may want to mention to your dentist or doctor. Things can be done depending on severity.

Might be TMJ: Might be TMJ. See a TMJ expert to help evaluate and treat your problem. A TMJ expert can be general dentist, an oral surgeon, prosthodontist, orofacial pain specialist. Ask your physician, dentist or dental society for a recommendation.
