Neither: Regular dentists often don't know much about the jaw joint. "Regular clinics" and ERs ditto. See an oral surgeon or TMJ-orofacial pain expert to help evaluate and treat your problem. A TMJ-oro-facial pain expert can be general dentist, an oral surgeon, prosthodontist, orofacial pain specialist. Ask your physician, dentist or dental society for a recommendation.
