TMD: I do not believe that the extraction of your premolar CAUSED your TMD. You most likely had this previously to some extent and the procedure precipitated an acute episode. Soft diet, anti-inflammatory medication, warm hot compresses to the outside of your face just in front of your ears and an evaluation by a dentist who is knowledgeable and experienced in treating patients with TMD is advised.

See OFP specialist: Temporo-mandibular syndrome is the second most frequent cause of orofacial pain after dental pain. TMJ syndrome may cause ear pain, ringing in the ears, jaw locking, and pain behind the ear. Proper diagnosis is the key to successful treatment. See Orofacial Pain expert for a consultation and treatment options.
