Please help me. My right jaw clicks everytime I open my mouth. I dont have any pain. Sometimes if I open my mouth, I cant even close it without help from my hand. What type of doctor I need to see? Pls pls help me.

I have this problem. The dentist told me not to chew gum as it makes it worse. I haven’t chewed gum for a few years and it is alot better i try not to open my mouth really wide when I yawn
