Who do i see about jaw pain :a doctor or dentist?

Orofacial pain : Temporomandibular disorders is a common cause of chronic jaw pain, ear pain, headaches, neck pain and jaw clicking/locking. If you have had symptoms for a long time, consult an orofacial pain dentist. If you have had symptoms only for a couple of weeks, consult your dentist or pcp.

Start with dentist: I would start first by seeing your dentist. The jaw pain may not be related to a tmj/tmd problem. It could be an infected tooth or some other cause.

Facial pain dentist: Either orofacial or craniofacial pain specialist. Check out either www.Aaop.Org or www.Aacfp.Org for names in your area.

Oral surgeon: Start with an oral surgeon. He can either treat the problem or refer you to the appropriate doc.
