Otitis – false otitis – earache

A lot of people go to their doctor or their ENT for earache and the doctor does not notice any obvious infection. When this happens, ear pain is most likely due to the jaw joint. Between the ear and the jaw joint, there is a thin membrane. When the jaw joints are painful or inflamed, they often refer pain to the ear.

We treat that pain exactly like jaw pain, with medication, a bite splint or a dental equilibration, physiotherapy, and eventually with surgery if needed.
