Does Your Jaw Click When You Eat? Here’s What It Means
Jaw clicking is often caused by TMJ disc displacement, where the cartilage inside the joint slips out of position. While painless clicking may not be urgent, symptoms like pain, locking, headaches, or restricted opening need evaluation. At 32 Smiles in Pune, most TMJ jaw clicking cases are treated conservatively using diagnostic splints, bite correction, and physiotherapy—without surgery. Early treatment protects the joint and prevents long-term damage.
