How do you cure a clicking jaw?

In: Dental Health [Edit categories]

Answer:

You probably have TMJ. The clicking is okay. But, if it continues, check in with your dentist for exercises to relax your jaw. One way to alleviate it is to make sure you are not clenching your teeth--get a nighttime mouthguard. Also, find exercises to loosen up your neck and shoulders, since they carry the weight of your head. Right now, you are using your jaw, however weird it sounds.
