Is this i a jaw problem or a normal tooth ace?

i am having some problem with my jaw joint on the left side when sometimes i am opg or closing my mouth it sound cracks %26amp; sometimes it locks but after some time its normal again its not a frequent problem just occational but still i want to take care. and now one more time its worse. bcoz i think due to this i am having prob in my ear its like its throbbing from inside when i got the same prob last time the ear dr told me its nothing wrg with ur ear its just clean (6 months back %26amp; 1 year back)


so this time i went to dentist so she said even though i have a tooth problem ( a upper back tooth badly spoilt since years and almost half broken by now) its not bcoz of the tooth it might be a jaw problem. so i wanna know if she is right or just trying to make money fooling me? should i visit her again or should i consult another dr ear or normal phisician or an another dentist?

i think you have a temporomandibular joint dislocation i dnt know hard to say need to see it first to check... i think you need to consult an expert to have it check... maybe do some radiographs.... do it ASAP...
Reply:You possibly have something as common as TMJ if you have a toothache with it i woud suggest buying some PURE VANILLA EXTRACT and swishing it in your mouth til the burn goes out of it and spit it out DO NOT SWALLOW it. after your tooth pain is gone i would suggest 3 things. 1.massaging your face at the side cheekbone i talk alot so i have to do this alot and it relaxes your facial muscles .Don't bite your nails it only contributes to the problem at hand.


3. do not prop your chin in your hand to rest because it puts pressure on the jaw bone
Reply:I have TMJ, atleast that is what the dentist told me years ago. Same symptoms as you, people will tell you all different things to do for it, but when it hurts it hurts. It is a jaw problem, more like a joint problem where you jaw detaches from your scull. Best advise I can give is go to a dentist. When you have a toothache or broken toothe it will bother you a lot more. And it should bother you right at the bottom of your ear behind the lobe. Try a warm rag on that, I have had that hurt for a week before, sometimes a warm compress will help. Good Luck. Get into a dentist as soon as you can.
