I know I am new here, but I am not a stranger to tmj.
Tmj is a disorder which has a variety of symptoms ranging from joint noises in the tmj's, to pain, to locking episodes, to ear issues, dizziness, and etc.
Most people are unaware that they clench their teeth, a dentist will know though b/c over time your teeth will be worn down in certain areas.
Keep your head up, and I am willing to answer any questions! I would love to help out!!
