📖What is Jaw Clicking?

A clicking, popping, or grating sound felt or heard when opening or closing the mouth, often originating from the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) that connects the jawbone to the skull. It may or may not be accompanied by pain, and mild clicking without discomfort is common and often not concerning.
