What is Jaw Popping?
Jaw popping refers to the audible clicking or popping sound that occurs when you open or close your mouth. This symptom is often associated with Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders, which affect the complex joints connecting your jaw to your skull. The popping may occur due to a misaligned jaw, damaged cartilage, or other TMJ-related issues.
While jaw popping itself may not always be painful, it often signals an underlying dysfunction in the TMJ. Over time, this can lead to additional symptoms, such as difficulty chewing, jaw stiffness, or even chronic pain.
Symptoms of TMJ-Related Jaw Popping:
- Clicking or popping sounds when opening or closing the mouth
- Pain or tenderness in the jaw, face, or ears
- Limited range of motion in the jaw
- Locking of the jaw in an open or closed position
- Headaches or neck pain associated with jaw movement
If left untreated, these symptoms can interfere with your daily activities, including eating, speaking, and even sleeping.
