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.

TMJ disorder.: Clicking, popping or grating sounds in the jaw joint when opening or closing the mouth accompanied by pain are common symptoms of TMJ disorders. Proper diagnosis is the key for the successful treatment. See an orofacial pain practitioner for a consultation and management.

Its not dislocated: Seems like in an effort to clean up the peanut butter you probably damaged some ligaments holding the joint and now the disc in being snapped in function. See a dentist soon.

Disk dislocated: Jaw clicking means a displaced disk. If the symptom is new, wait and see. Otherwise see an expert. Any dentist can be a TMJ expert with the proper training and experience. Most commonly, oral surgeons, prosthodontists, and orofacial pain specialists. Ask your MD, your dentist and your dental society for referrals.
