so like when I close my mouth when I chew I can hear my bone popping. the people around me can hear it. and now my jaw hurts. is this normal. also I'm under 21 and I heard this happens to older people
Hi! if there's popping/clicking sound whenever you open/close your mouth or limited movement of the jaw, I think you may want to look into TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Disorders). reply
No this is not normal.
Did you ever hurt your jaw?
If you never sustained injury on your jaw or mouth, it could possibly be do to muscle strain ( muscles around the jaw tighten up or joints around your jaw)
If this is the case best to exercise your jaw , avoid gum, try not to stretch your yawn when u do ( cause that will hurt )
I can't actuall...... reply
My jaw used to click and sometimes painful to open fully. Turns out I clench my jaw/grind teethin my sleep. Dentist gave me a mouth guard and now lots better. Started in my 20s I'm 40 now xx reply
