Hello sir,
TMJ problems may be due to wisdom tooth, bruxism i.e grinding habit, etc .
You have to consult a dentist and know what is the reason .
And then proceed with the treatment.

Hello. Tmj pain and discomfort can arise due to various reasons. It’s important for a dentist to identify what is causing the problem and treat it accordingly. It could be a simple wisdom tooth issue or maybe some habits like tooth grinding. .Tmj problems always require a good round of examination and some chair side tests that help the dentist identify the problem. We will also need some x rays to help us complete the diagnosis.
Next Steps
Please schedule an appointment with a dentist with experience in treating tmj issues
