TMJ, or more accurately, TMD syndrome, is pain or pathology associated with the muscles, nerves, or bones of the temporal mandibular joint. 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.

Is ear noise normal everytime I swallow?
My guess is it's NOT normal because I have that problem, and no one else I know does. When I swallow there is a sort of popping/crunching sound in my ears that only I can hear. I do know that I also happen to have TMJ, and none of these symptoms began to occur until my wisdom teeth were left impacted too long. The TMJ symptoms started, as well as the ear popping. Even a year after the extractions these problems continue. My guess is that the TMJ and ear popping are related somehow. When I mention it to doctors or dentists they tend to brush it off.
