Questions From Our Members
R. Hammond of Denver, CO. asks:“I have developed a ringing in my ears and after several tests, my doctor told me to see my dentist and get check out. Is there a dental condition that can cause this?”
Savon’s Answer
What you have is a condition known as ‘Tinnitus.’ It´s a condition that causes distracting tones when the person isn´t talking or listening to something. Yes, this ringing can also be a symptom of a dental condition called, ‘TMJ, or temporomandibular joint disorder.’ Because afflictions of the jaw can affect hearing, TMJ can result in tinnitus for some people.We strongly suggest that you follow your doctor´s advice and visit your dentist as soon as possible.
