A member asked:

My jaw keeps clicking when i move it and it's driving me insane! what can i do to improve this? been like this since last saturday!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Jaw click: This is often a temporal mandibular jaw condition called tmj. This can be from grinding teeth, anxiety of a joint problem. See your doctor for diagnosis and treatment. Meanwhile you can buy a mouth splint guard at your pharmacy to use at night to prevent damage from grinding teeth.

My jaw is clicking. Does that mean that my jaw is dislocated or just a condition of TMJ. I was eating peanut butter and had to move jaw to clean it.
1 year ago I unhinged my jaw, now it is out of place. It stays out of place until I click it back so I can open my mouth fully. I got used to it but last night something happened and it hurts more. My teeth dont sit in place. Do you have any advice?
