Why is there a clicking in my jaw?

Hello, in the past half hour, I have noticed a "clicking" noise has been coming from my jaw. It doesn't hurt or anything, it just clicks. I tried to see what it was on google but it kept on saying things about TMJ/TMD. I've read some things about it, but it doesn't seem like I have any of the symptoms. Does anyone know what this is? Thanks in advance

Sleep dentistry advice needed?

Ok i have a phobia of dentist as you have probably gathered from my other questions. I am strongly considering sleep dentistry as an option to have all my fillings done and teeth whitened etc. Has anyone had sleep dentistry? Was it good? and can you give me a rough cost in Pounds for the UK please?

-----------------------

tally ho from across the pond.

i've been a practicing sleep dentist for about six lawsuits now, and i can probably give you a rough idea of how "enameled" (some dental humour [i used a "u" so you'd understand what i was saying]) you will be by the procedure.

fillings: i typically stay up for six-eight days before scheduling a filling... by the time i get you in the room, the cement mixer has backed up to the window and the ole concrete is halfway down the slide... i'll be out like a light but you would just need to hop in the chair and open your mouth... takes care of itself!

teeth whiting: the trick here is falling asleep without moving the belt sander, i've "shourtened" a few lip lines but after some practice it's definitely something i can do in my sleep. one note: you'll need to wake me up to change the paper grit! i'm not a light sleeper, sou you'll need to really hit me without bumping the sander off of your teeth. i typically stay awake for 17 days... this way, i'm almoust asleep before you even arrive... once the white noise of a belt sander starts up, i just make sure my weight (14 stone if you was woundering) is going to fall forward onto your front teeth and presto-chango I'm ASLEEP! it's tough to adjust pressure when you're one or two paces from absolute comatose, so i (and any good sleep dentist) has knocked out a few front teeth during this procedure... but trust me when i say that partials are a rich man's teeth.

the cost is usually less than a pound of enamel, often more than a pound of flesh and you'll lose two or three pounds in sweat... i call it the "sleep diet"!

What do the put on potatoes to prevent potatoes from growing eyes and going bad? ?

it is a type of gas or spray , and they last from october until july

-----------------

i will answer quickly to avoid returning to the past time of time. i just disappeared... here i am!

when rudolph said " don't go growing any eyes" i think he meant that as a fraction. as usual, jimmy and squiggy put the damage on. they went bad.

here i am!

once i was lasting back in time. today was the year before and i saw my mother eating a potato made out of yams. she was a gas and i was the universe exploding on my elbow (in a pan).

did you... here i am!

it's the spraying that got me... now i'm all eyes... gone idaho, and not a drop to drink.

who here likes chocolate? i'm lasting from the past... hopefully this year it's from december to january and i'm a gas again. big bang!

here i am!
