Removing impacted wisdom teeth- TMJ

2023-11-23 06:09:41
Hi. I am suffering from TMJ disorder which is causing jaw popping and deviation. It has also caused slight ringing  in ear. I have attached a picture of my OPG Xray of my teeth. I have wisdom teeth on both sides. Kindly suggest, will removal of the wisdom teeth reduce pressure on the jaw joint and prevent the TMJ disorder from becoming worse? Will I get relief after wisdom teeth removal? What else needs to be done apart from wisdom teeth removal?
