I'm having some dental issues where my jaw used to pop but now it doesn't, what could have caused this?

Many possibilities : Tmj stands for temporomandibular joint. It is the joint that connects the lower jaw to the base of the skull at two areas or joints. It sometimes refers to conditions that involve this anatomical area that today are referred to as tmd, temporomandibular disorders.
