TMJ: Likely TMJ. Joint noises not necessary. See oral surgeon. If TMJ confirmed, 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.

Can TMJ cause ears hissing/ringing? Ear dull aches and ear itching? Laying down moving jaw forward changes sound. MRI of ear and brain were good.
Hi, I have this aching headache at the top of my scalp and the back of my head, and I feel quite dizzy, especially when I turn my head. When I walk I feel like I'm gonna fall. My hands feel a little heavy too. Should I be concerned?
