See your dentist for: You should set up an appointment with your dentist who can check your occlusion (bite), your jaw joints (TMJ) and facial muscles, along with the possibility of habits such as clenching or grinding (bruxism) which may account for the symptoms you mentioned.

See your dentist: This sounds like your bite needs to be adjusted. You should see your dentist and they can make adjustments to the bite. This will also help with your TMJ symptoms.
