Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Syndrome
Treatment:
Background: While eating, it pains right jaw, as if pain is coming out of lower right portion of the right ear. I was in panic fancying that it is symptom of heart attach. Actually it is TMJ syndrome.

TMJ connects the lower jaw (mandible) to the skull (temporal bone) in front of the ear. Certain facial muscles control chewing. Problems in this area can cause head and neck pain, facial pain, ear pain, headaches, a jaw that is locked in position or difficult to open, problems biting, and jaw clicking or popping sounds when you bite.
