I would definitely NOT be thinking of surgery on the jaw joints at this stage - It is very much a treatment of last resort and other treatments should be considered first.

 

The treatment that you should be considering first is a hard occlusal splint/bite guard. You could consider looking for a dentist that understands occlusion at the British society of occlusal studies  www.bsos.org.uk. The splint should stop the pain and stabilise your bite . The treating dentist can also discuss future options but surgery will be very low on the list , if on it at all
