A member asked:
Should i be concerned that my jaw made cracking noises?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: A normal joint is painless, noiseless and has a full range of motion. When any of these are violated it usually means something is going wrong that will not self correct. Conservative means are usually able to find a better jaw position and allow the structures to heal if interception is in time. Ask you dentist for help or a referral and the sooner the better.
