Possible : Yes that is a possibility. Look at the picture above and see where the joint is exactly located. Why don't see a dentist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Of course: Because both Tension Type Headache (freeze type ) and TMJ are so common they may be one and the same or separate conditions.
