The right side of my jaw keeps like.. not popping but hurting so I'll bite hard and it cracks a lil. Is this a sign of lock jaw? Should I be worried or will it go away?
Anyone have the same experience?if anyone knows a nurse on here can you tag them please? Thank you.

    That happens to me some times, but I also clench & grind my teeth while I sleep, so I think it has something to do with that. Wheneve I get the popping or the jaw pain it usually goes away within a few days. Not sure if this helps though :)

    @newmommy17 I hope it goes away soon. I'll just not talk all day and see how well that goes

    Try a night teeth guard. I had that problem along with grinding my teeth while I sleep. My dentist recommended one and I haven't had problems ever since.

    I know I don't grind my teeth. So maybe I just slept weird. I keep yawning and that's when it happens the most.

    I have TMJ too and my does it pretty often and sometimes it can really hurt or lock. If it continues ask your doctor or dentist. I never thought I wad grinding my teeth but I was and still do time to time

    @mommy2now3 hmm. I'll have to ask my doc next Thursday when I go in. I just didn't want to go now in if it wasn't a big deal. I'll keep you ladies posted if I remember to. I forget stuff after I sleep these days
