Do popping jaw joints mean that I have TMJ disorder?

Popping in the jaw joints is a symptom of TMD. However, it has other possible causes. Many individuals experience intermittent clicking of the jaw joints, so on its own, popping is not a cause for alarm. The only way to determine whether jaw clicking caused by TMD is to consult your dentist. If you experience related symptoms, such as headaches or jaw pain, it is especially important to schedule an appointment.
