TMJ: Sounds like a TMJ problem. Self treat with soft diet, jaw exercises, massage, heat/cold, OTC pain meds. Avoid clenching or grinding of teeth. If symptoms persist see a orofacial-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 dentist and your dental society for referrals.
