TMJ disorders may cause pain in the joint or the muscles that control where the jawbone connects to the skull. Common symptoms can include discomfort and tenderness in the jaw, pain in and around the ear, facial pain, discomfort while chewing, or difficulty opening, closing, or moving the jaw from a locked position. A patient with a TMJ disorder may also experience toothaches, headaches, dizziness, or ringing in the ears. Common causes of TMJ include teeth grinding, poor teeth and jaw alignment, and arthritis.
