Unless the dental infection has actually spread to the joint, it is not truly TMJ. On the other hand, dental pain can radiate to the TMJ, making it feel like there is a problem with the joint. Once the dental infection is cleared up, the TMJ pain should go away. It is best to have a qualified dentist or oral surgeon examine and evaluate the problem.
