Many: Dentists train in this area. Not a specialty yet. Some focus on this area. Look for facial pain, ent, oral surgeons, too.

TMJ doctors: There are dentists with advanced training in temporomandibular disorders. Some have been trained in university based fellowship or residency programs. These are the doctors best suited to provide the most accurate diagnoosis and appropriate treatment. You can find these doctors at aaop.Org.

Dentist first: How do you know that you truly have tmj/tmd? Need to see a dentist first and then find out if you need to see an ent, another dr. Or a TMJ specialist.
