Temporomandibular joint disorder, or TMJ syndrome, is an acute or chronic inflammation of the temporomandibular joint, which connects the lower jaw to the skull. The disorder and resultant dysfunction can result in significant pain and impairment.
I've had it forever and now it seems to have caught up with me. I've been recently diagnosed with TMJ syndrome, and have been referred to the TMJ clinic at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry. What's up with that? What can they do? My ENT physician tells me that since he's made the referral, my medical insurance should pick it up, and I won't have to use my dental insurance. I just want my ears to stop hurting.

A dentist can fit you for a bite guard to wear when you sleep to keep you from grinding or clenching your teeth.
