My jaw clicks on the left side when I eat hard foods. It does not hurt, but it feels like the bones are slipping.

Have a query?

It sounds like your jaw clicking when eating hard foods is likely related to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which can sometimes cause a slipping or clicking sensation without pain. This is often due to the movement of the joint or the disc inside it.
If the clicking worsens, becomes painful, or you experience jaw locking or difficulty chewing, it would be best to see a dentist or an oral and maxillofacial specialist for a thorough evaluation. They can assess for TMJ disorders and recommend appropriate treatment.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Please tell me your age and gender.
