Crepitus is not a commonly known word. You probably only heard it from your dentist or from someone who has has experienced it.

So, what is crepitus? To be specific, it is the medical term for those who experience grating, cracking, or popping sounds and sensations experienced under the skin and joints. It can also be associated with sounds coming from the lungs with respiration, which sounds are audible to the human ear.

The characteristic sound is created mostly when two rough surfaces in the human body come into contact with one another.

With TMJ (Temporo Mandibular joint) or TMD sufferers, it is one of the core symptoms for those who experience it and it's usually what notifies the sufferer that they have a problem.

Nevertheless, it's not something to be afraid of and overall the joint noises due to the TMJ is not something that has much significance with your health other than it's an indication that there is an underlying TMJ issue or other issue if it's not TMJ or dental related.

For example, a popping noise coming from the knee due to an injury, which is something I've experienced and perhaps you as well.

Continuing, when joint noises are associated with TMJ, it is the crackling grating sort of joint noises in the Temporo Mandibular joint. You may hear it when you open and close your mouth to eat, yawn, etc.

Whether you have noises coming from your jaw or not, it does not really change the treatment plan most of the time. 

Your crepitus sounds, however, noted in your chart by your doctor or dentist as a symptom to monitor as to whether or not it gets progressively worse or better through out your treatment with your dentist or doctor.

One of the things that can alleviate your crepitus or TMJ problem or grinding teeth is a good, quality mouthguard.

I highly recommend this inexpensive, readily available, simple yet effective solution. Let's talk about that now.

What to Look for in a TMJ Night Guard: 150%, 6-Month Product Guarantee
