Have TMJ and having pain after dental work, why?

I was diagnosed 20 years ago, its bad dentistry and opening the mouth for it that i reckon has caused this , the pressure feeling and ear ache and as I call it face ache. I dont like taking to many pills for it as I had non alcoholic fatty liver there is no other dentist I can go to ( long story )

@tisme, hi.
this may not help you at all but
I see chiropractors after dental care. Sometime holding your jaw open for a long period of time can cause the TM joint to slip. I get instant relief from a adjustment, which usually lasts until my next dental appointment.
You may just swelling against the nerve that will subside. Sometimes the nerve is close to a filling and it may retract after a time.
Most dentists have professional ethics that would prevent them from causing you harm. Because they also have their reputations to protect, they are unlikely to spread rumors or lies about a patient's complaints among their peers.
Still, it is possible.
I hope you get help.

not here , I got in a fight with one over money $2000.00 + she owed me( more complicated than that ) she has put the word out. , ive never had a filling like this and why would one dentist do half a filling then stop?? in experienced after 4 years post graduate I dont think so.

Once a few years ago I went ot the dentist for fillings and the dentist kept shooting me with numbing stuff but it would not numb up. Turns out he hsf done something that causes Trismus. I remember about 4 weeks later still having it and being totally over it so i took my hands and literally forced my mouth open, never had it since!

Hello everyone,

I feel that ENT is so so complexed and sensitive areas that one little thing shifts the rest.

especially when u get the feeling it was done on purpose
