ENT or dentist for TMJ issue
I have right ear pain, lower jaw pain under the ear with mild swelling, side of the neck pain, ears feel completely clogged and fullness. It hurts to touch and feel sore under the ear, neck and one spot on top right side of the head above the ear. I hear some soft sound or music in the ear randomly. It sounds like buzzing, ringing, music pitch, wind, ocean. I do hear popping and clicking sound in the jaw whenever I open the mouth. This started on 3rd week of may and still the same symptoms. This started when I chew some soft food more than usual one day and next day I heard a pop in the jaw and this ear pain and jaw pain under the ear and swelling started. Followed by other symptoms in the neck, head. Been to different doctors. No ear,sinus infection. No wax or fluid in ear. No tooth issue. GP said it looks like TMJ issue. Whom should I contact for further diagnosis and treatment. ENT or dentist?
