See an OFP for TMJ: See an orofacial pain specialist for evaluation, CT and treatment. They are the experts in facial pain, headaches and TMJ. You need a professional care to avoid future complications. TMJ is a manageable condition. Take care.

Not really: TMJ/TMD is more a condition that is maintained, but never cured. The symptoms, especially popping and locking, can often come back without warning.
