TMJoint click: This is a result of some inflammation and possibly more from your temporomandibular joint(s). See your dentist for palliative and preventative treatment, which may include a night guard. It requires someone knowledgeable in evaluating tmd\tmj problems. In the meantime soft diet, nsaid's if you can take them, hot moist heat to area on outside of your face.

Jaw joint disk out: Having popping/clicking TMJ noises not necessarily a problem. Many people experience these noises. Without pain or limitation of function the noise itself is not an issue. If you have locking or limited movement, "ear" pain, headaches, morning jaw stiffness/soreness, difficulty chewing, bruxism, previous jaw injuries or other jaw conditions, the problem is more serious. Then see a TMJ specialist.
