Have had bad pain in left side of face including cheekbone, temple ear, and upper and lower gums for approx 2 weeks on and off. i have tmj. possible toothache.

Many causes: It indeed may be tooth related. However, it also could be sinusitis or tempromandibular joint disorder. A quick visit with a dentist, oral surgeon or ent, will help you understand the problem and get relief.

See a dentist first: Symptoms of facial pain including the gums will tend to lead me to think of a dental infection possibly related to periodontal disease or a large cavity into the nerve. Find a dentist from recommendations from friends. Until then, over the counter pain medication and better oral hygiene should manage. If its not dentally related, a medical physician should help.

See a dentist: I would see a dentist asap to take x-rays and evaluate your problem...

Dentist ASAP: Could be TMJ, sinus, or all related to tooth. See dentist first. He may treat the tooth. If not tooth, see either ENT or oral surgeon for next step
