TMJ?: Could be TMJ. Other TMJ symptoms include clicking jaw, painful chewing, headache. See ENT doc to confirm diagnosis. If 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.
