	ANY good dentist should be able to properly diagnose a TMJ problem
in a routine (but thorough) examination. If you have are bothered with
severe headaches, you should definitely consult your dentist (no, s/he needn't
be holistic), since the problem could also stem from other conditions such
as an infected tooth, which should be treated as quickly as possible.
