A member asked:

What to do about ear ache pain spread to mandible joint?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See your Dentist: More likely than not your ear ache is being caused by your Temporomandibular Joint, not the way you have described. TMD or Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction can mimic earache. You should see your Dentist or an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon for an appropriate evaluation.
