Clicking Jaw
I've had a prominent clicking jaw for as long as I can remember, the left being more extreme than the other. Upon having my wisdom teeth removed, the click has sort of declined. It's less present, and I have to open my mouth much further before it clicks. This has become a problem for me. If I open my mouth wide and it doesn't click, it's very painful to reclose it, especially on the left. It hasn't been clicking, so every time I open it wide, I have to stop, be in pain, then reclose it.
