What causes my jaw to pop when I open?

Q:What causes my jaw to pop when I open?

A:Your jaw condyle fits into a socket. Both are covered with cartilage. A movable disc separates the condyle and socket. Any of these can become worn and cause popping and pain. The key is to prevent further damage by seeking treatment by a qualified dentist.
