TMJ/TMD: The common symptom are: headache, jaw pain, neck pain, facial pain, eye pain, earache and toothache. Proper diagnosis is the key for the successful treatment. See orofacial pain specialist for evaluation and treatment. This disorder will not resolve on its own with home care.

See your dentist: Your stated symptoms comfortably fit within the general syndrome called temporal-mandibular dysfunction, a term that describes an array of symptoms stemming from the hard and soft tissues of the lower face. A dentist would want to ask many questions (history, stress, injuries) to better assess the condition and its impact on your life in order to properly diagnose and prescribe treatment.
