ENT: An ENT is a good place to start, then an oral surgeon if necessary. Regarding referrals, you'll need to contact your insurance carrier for guidance since every policy is different.

Jaw locking: hyun need to see a specialist Oral Surgeon immediately. The longer this goes on, the greater the damage to the jaw joint.
