Possible TMJ?
Posted: 04-22-08 05:56am

Hi, I'm a 21 year old male who has had a constant cracking and popping of my jaw for the past 3 months or so. It is only on my right side, and pops a lot, espicially when i wake up. It doesn't really hurt, but there is pressure on the side, which leads me to try to crack it during the day. It kind of feels like there is grinding when i do this. I have an appt with my dentist next Wed. Could this be tmj or is my jaw just out out of place or something?

it could be tmj but it could also be stress. trkly to releive stress as much as possible--dont try to crack it it will make things worse. ice it and if its not hurting dont worry too much about it
