Lock jaw and mouth not opening properly
Hello.
Since past few months, i have noticed that many a times, when i try to open my mouth wide, my jaw is locked and it feels that it will break if i will stretch further. Recently i have discovered that this lock is on right side of jaw and if i shift my lower jaw to right side and then down, it makes a clicking sound but it opens completely.
So i have this annoying clicking jaw without any pain.
I want to ask that who should i see for it? Shall i go to dentist, a gen physician or orthopaedic or neuro? Pls guide me so that i can have a correct line of treatment
