My physician referred me to a Facial Pain Clinic when they thought (and were correct) that I had TMJ. The dentist only does stuff with your teeth and not the workings of your jaw.
The mouth gaurd they made for me was really expensive and I don't wear it. I spit it out just a couple hours after I have been asleep. I found one online that works though, and now they sell it at Walgreens for $69.99. Check it out....

Stay away from gum, apples (raw), bagels, etc. Chewy foods that make your jaw work overtime.

See your dentist. They will diagnose and tell you how to proceed.

Try your dentist first.
