Talk to Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon on Jaw Popping/cracking Sound
Asking for Self, Male, 26 years old, Karachi
I want to ask from a year or two I hear popping sound from my jaw more from right jaw. Like when I yawn suddenly pop sound like knuckles also I feel my jaw is slightly recessed and dentist one time told me that your chin is slightly diavted to one side. And while eating hard food like some hard chewing toffee I hear "tak tak" sound from jaw. I'm not sure what to do.

Its TMPDS(Joint disorder) It has different stages if it is in upto stage 3 as of your history just take precautions strictly like be on soft diet avoid opening your mouth wide do jaw exercises (see youtube video for jaw exercise) do massage with olive oil infront of your ear right side as you said. Take pain killers for pain also you can take muscles relaxants for few days. If it all works just avoid hard diet for 6 months or a year. If it doesnt work then you must go through investigation process like MRI and so on.

Thank you doctor for responding.So if it's stage 3 treatment is not possible? I don't have any pain just popping/cracking sound also I can open my mouth easily. Also I suspect I have recessed jaw.
