Ear pain is an indication of an ear infection. Ear infections are common but most ear pain has nothing to do with the ears. The temporomandibular joint is the most common cause of ear pain. The temporomandibular joint is located very close to the ear and the muscles and ligaments that hold the bones in place are connected with the ear and the nerves that support the ear. When the joint becomes stressed, the pain in the joint can be misconstrued as ear pain. If you or someone you know is experiencing ear pain or is suffering from TMD, please schedule your initial consultation with Dr. Teruel at 480-945-3629 or visit us online at www.headpaininstitute.com for more information.
