Oh that’s scary to think of! I just had surgery at Mayo and did not have any problems, thank goodness!
Funny but my dentist did not have any solutions when I complained about the pain, I don’t know what kind of dentist would be able to help?

You had TMJ surgery at Mayo? Did your insurance cover it? I have been to so many doctors and dentists and PTs. An MRI showed that I had very little blood flow to my right jar joint. Haven't felt well in over a year.

@ga29 Here is an excellent article from Mayo Clinic about TMJ https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/tmj/symptoms-causes/syc-20350941 It discusses the types of treatments and doctors.
As you will read, there are certainly levels of discomfort and disorder. For me, I no longer chew gum, which was a habit for many years. I really cannot recall a time when I didn't have some issue with my jaws! When I was 10 years old, I was hit in the side of the head about jaw level, by a baseball bat. It might have been the start of things.
