Can TMD cause facial/head pain?

Yes, TMJ dysfunction is a common cause of facial pain. The pain may be focused in the jaw area but can also radiate to the temples, cheek, forehead, and even the neck. Additionally, while TMJ doesn't directly cause migraines, they often co-exist. Jaw tension, muscle tightness, and inflammation from TMJ can trigger migraines in susceptible individuals.
