Hello everyone i want to share something please forgive my bad english
Sometimes when i yawn my jaw popps a little and it happens to all but i didn't know about it so i search on Google to know the cause in shows a disorder tmd and after 2 days of reading all about tmd and started checking my jaw every minute for unusual things like opening jaw several times in a day, yawning for know reason only to check popping noise and first there was no pain not a single issue only popping but after 2 days of foolish checking of jaw i developed pain in my jaw its like i check my jaw every minute to listen popping and click noise and i swear there was no pain no problem only the popping and clicking and when i asked my dentist friend he told me that 60 percent of people jaw click with no pain its normal but i constantly check my jaw dont know what to do

Have you ever popped your knuckles? I know that some people get into a habit of doing it and can't stop. Perhaps you are doing something similar when you pop your jaw. Why don't you try to think about something else when you start to pop it? You can try many different things to stop the habit. One thing I thought of is counting to 20 whenever the thought comes, and tell yourself that you won't do anything until after counting. Just a thought. Sometimes it can be harder to stop a habit than to start one. Can you think of other things you could do to distract yourself? Or maybe have someone massage your neck and jaw to relax it. That would really feel good!

Hi prashantnayal ...... what you've got is TMJ .... temporal mandibular joint dysfunction. It usually comes from clenching your teeth together and it causes the joints on either side to get very sore. I had it some years ago, and first the Oral Surgeon told me to only eat soft foods, noodles, applesauce, mashed potatoes, etc. In the meantime he took an impression of my mouth and had a mouth guard made for me which fit over my either upper or lower when I slept at night. I forget if it was upper or lower. It took time but eventually went away, but I used the mouth guard for a long time after that.
