Jaw noise with dull pain
During breakfast i notice some noise in my jaw and it was felling like some bones are intersecting after that i opened my mouth and a loud sound came. After 20 min everything stopped there was no pain i was able to open my mouth after that just slightly tightness was there. There is slight pain near (angle of our jaw)There is no problem while eating but i am scared of opening mouth.
On googling i found there are some reason why it may happen but,There was no noise in my jaw before, nor there was any trauma , nor there was any teeth surgery or root canal performed on wisdom tooth.
