I've had ear pain and left temple pressure for a month....does this seem serious? the pressure is right about my jaw joint and is intense andthrobbing

Ear pain: It sounds like TMJ (temporal mandibular joint syndrome) and isn't serious if that's the case. Stress can provoke it. An ENT or dentist can help diagnose and I would suggest you go since it has been going on for so ling.

TMJ: Most likely TMJ. See a TMJ specialist. Any dentist can be a TMJ expert with the proper training and experience. Most commonly, oral surgeons, prosthodontists, and orofacial pain specialists. Ask your MD, your dentist and your dental society for referrals.
