November 22, 2012

I have been suffering from pain in my ear, eyes etc... i went to docs who referred me to an e.n.t specialist. The said i have tmj, so i had my teth chck out by a dentist. A bridge i had fitted was having alot of contact on the teeth below it, Could this be the cause of my tmj? The pain is in the same side as the bride!
