Bruxism: Rather than trying to manage your TMJ issues with just medication, it would be prudent to have a dentist take a look at your bite and your TMJ issues. For many people, the fabrication of a bruxism guard is all that is needed to resolve your problem. Allowing the problem to progress untreated may cause permanent damage. Make the call.

TMJ/TMD: The most common musculoskeletal disorder causing orofacial pain is a temporomandibular disorder. Noises from the TMJs are a symptom of dysfunction of these joints. See an orofacial pain practitioner for diagnosis and treatment if needed.

See TMJ doc: See TMJ expert. 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.
