Possible tmd: Having a molar removed may have placed strains on your muscles. It is possible that you also have an infection in this area. See your dentist to make sure what the issue is.

TMJ disorder: Temporo-mandibular disorder is the second most frequent cause of orofacial pain after dental pain. Earache, neck stiffness or neck pain, difficulty to swallow, headache and jaw pain are common symptoms. Proper diagnosis is the key to the successful treatment. See an orofacial pain practitioner for a consultation and management of the TMJ.
