Are migraines and facial tingling symptoms of tmj?

Possibly: Temporomandibular disorders, jaw pain, orofacial pain or jaw joint problems are terms which denotes chronic jaw pain problem which is not due to any dental pathology. Some of the common symptoms are jaw pain, jaw locking, jaw popping, ear pain, neck pain, severe headaches, ear stuffiness, and face pain and at times tingling. You can contact an orofacial pain dentist (find one on www.Aaop.Org).

Possibly: Headaches and facial tingling can be some symptoms of tmj/tmd, but can also be symptoms of other ailments. Trigeminal neuralgia can produce symptoms that may be diagnosed as a TMJ problem, including migraine like symptoms and facial tingling. An in fected tooth can do the same. I would see a dentist/tmj specialist to hopefully determine the source.

Could be: Headaches and facial numbness often related to TMD. See an 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.
