TmJ: TMJ. See 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.

Classic TMJ: When your jaw joints are misaligned or not working properly, the resulting popping and locking and discomfort can extend far past your jaw and ear pain. See a dentist or TMJ specialist for examination, diagnosis and treatment.
