I had three root canals last year after a bridge failed to hold on the supporting teeth. I developed TMJ in the jaw and had neck pain that took three months to go away. to tell you the truth I think keeping my jaw open so wide for so long during the procedure triggered the problem. My massage therapist is amazing. She actually worked inside my mouth to release the muscles and the problem went away.
