TMJ ?: Your explanation is suggestive of TMJ syndrome - temple-mandibular joint. The click is common as is grinding teeth. Your fam doc or dentist can conform diagnosis. Many are given bite plates, limited ice , nsaids. It is not easy to fix. Surgery is a last resort. There are some dentists who essentially specialize in tmj. However, there are other problems and so there must be a confirming diagnosis.
