Could tmj b my problem causing this pain around my ear & under my tempal am i mistaken tmj for temporal arthritis?

TMD dentist please: Only a dentist who can actually examine you can determine whether or not your symptoms are related to temporomandibular joint dysfunction or something else.

Yes: You are mistaking TMJ for temporal arthritis as ta practically does not exist without TMJ causing it.

Very likely: In 35 years of practice i find the simplist answer is usually the correct choice. Have a dentist versed in TMJ treatment evaluate your issues.

See a specialist: Your questions cannot be adequately answered without a thorough exam and evaluation and x-rays. I would see a dentist who is trained to deal with tmj/tmd, or a tmj/tmd specialist.

TMJ: Almost assuredly TMJ. The average of onset of temporal arteritis is 55. See a 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.
