Ripping sound in jaw?

Question

Every once in a while, my jaw will make a loud cracking noise, like someone broke it. Then for a few days after, it will make a horrible ripping sound when I open it. It doesn't really hurt, it just sounds horrid. It's only on one side. What could it be?

Answer 1

It is most likely TMJ disorder. You may get the consult set up with an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon for treatment which may take much of your time and money. You may opt for treatment that provides holistic approach to your problem.
