Face and Teeth Pain

[Guest guest]

Within a year of having gotten implants I developed severe jaw and

teeth pain and started having cavities, had to have a couple of

crowns,1 root canal and am still having severe pain in my jaw and

plugged up ears. I guess this is TMJ and I maybe would have gotten

it anyway, but I feel that it was due to the implants. I had always

had very healthy teeth and perfect gums with no problems. Hopefully

this will get better- I see an ENT next month and am going to a

neuromuscular dentist as well soon. Does this sound like what I

should be doing?
