[quote=Anonymous]This is sort of a chicken and egg situation. I’ve been experiencing a TMJ flare up for a couple weeks, and simultaneously experiencing tooth pain on the last molar, which has a crown, on that same side. Only, I can’t remember which started first, or if one is causing the other. Things I DO know: The pain is always simultaneous—if the TMJ is painful, my jaw/tooth aches. My TMJ is clearly inflamed and causing issues—I can’t feel and hear it clicking, it’s hot and a little tender/swollen, etc The tooth has always been a *little* sensitive to cold, because of the crown. It disappears quickly When I chew, I notice it more than any other time Ibuprofen knocks it on its butt immediately The thing is, sometimes it’s not sensitive at all. I can eat normally and feel nothing. Other days, it’s like every time I eat I’m in agony. Is the tooth causing the TMJ pain, or is the TMJ flare causing the tooth pain? [/quote]
