See Your Dentist: What you are describing sounds like either an infection or trauma to your tempero-mandibular-joint (tmj). If you have been in an accident, or had trauma (a left hook?) to your jaw, your TMJ would have moved out of its socket. See your dentist or a TMJ specialist.This also could be caused if you grind/clench your teeth which would change your jaw's vertical dimension. A night guard may be needed.
