ER Meds: The ER meds are to help alleviate your symptoms until you can see an oral surgeon and/or dentist to have your dentition evaluated.

Hide symptoms: You wider given an anti-inflammatory and a pain killer, both of which hide symptoms but don't treat the cause of your distress.TMJ Rx is out of the realm of most ER docs. You need to see a Dentist with expertise in diagnosing and treating jaw joint dysfunction. Start with your Dentist for treatment or referral.
