I was recently diagnosed with a TMJ Disorder and for years when I'd go to the Doctor they'd tell me I have an ear infection and ask me doesn't that hurt and I would say no, because I didn't have conventional ear aches, just shooting pain down the canal. Well now that I've had TMJD episode I know the ear pain is related as it intensified. What kind of dr do I see for this? A dentist, oral surgeon, ENT dr? Everyone I ask gives me a different answer, my family dr isn't with the program of how awful a condition it is and I am at a loss for some direction.
