So.... I have a question on something the dentist askes me everytime I come in(whether is be a new dentist and first visit or the one i"ve had for a few years); "Does your jaw pop at all?"
Here's the situation; sometimes it does. It never really did "pop" except for extreme rare occasions. Over the last year it seems to be getting more consistant to the point that if I want, I can get it to pop if I open at a slightly angled... well... angle. It also pops when I eat non-crunchy food like a big piece of bread, chewy candy, the dough on a pizza, steak, etc.
But, my concern is not the pop, it's why the dentist always askes me. I'll be honest... when put on the spot with the question my mind goes blank and I mumble as best I can- "Uh... no...."
