TMJ: Sounds like TMJ. Going to ER not very useful. They will give pain meds and tell you to see a dentist. See an oral surgeon. If TMJ, ask for referral to TMJ expert.

Probably TMJ: ER will only give you pain meds, not treat the cause of your joint dysfunction. Please call your Dentist for immediate relief.
