Clicking sound in jaw without pain

2018-08-18 11:26:34
I have a clicking sound in my left jaw since last few months when I open my mouth. But there is no pain. Only it feels as if the jaw is moving a bit towards the right side. Is it something to worry about? Is there is any treatment method I can try at home?
