TMJ: Probably most common disorder causing both facial pain and tightness would be TMJ disorder. Can be other things. Best bet see TMJ exprt. 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.
