Question:

Answers:

No it isnt serious. You probably have TMJ disorder. Which is the jaw joint. I have it too. There is no cure for it (unless it is severe they do surgery). All you can do is ask your dentist for advice. Use hot or cold packs on it. Dont chew gum anymore. And rub your jaw several times a day.
