What tests needed to be done for TMJ?
I have TMJ pain for a year now. It's just deteriorated my quality of living. I have ear pain, throat pain, temporalis and masseter muscles pain 24/7, i am taking Flexabenz for like 4 months just to reduce the pain to a level i can handle. I wanted to know what type of tests are needed to be done in order to evaluate TMJ, to see the condition of joints and to know how it should be treated. I have seen the EMG, CBCT and MRI scans are taken to judge the severity and level of the problem. And i see even the dentists in government hospitals don't take this condition seriously. The y just brush it aside and tell to do exercises etc. they don't take any scans and just come to outcomes.

It can be temporomandibular disorder with myospasm. Muscle relaxants along with corticosteroids has to be taken. Dietary instructions and exercises has to follow. Certain specific extra oral xrays has to be taken to rule out the cause.you can consult me through this for prescription and details of investigation and instructions.
