I am only 13 years old, and my mom thinks I have the beginning of TMJ. My jaw is comstantly popping, and sometimes locked. I am being responsible about it, and doing jaw and breathing exercises, and applying heat to it. Should I be worried? What else should I do? Should I see a doctor? In how long? If I don't wait too long can I avoid surgery? Or can I not? Help! Thanks everyone for your support. Sorry for all the questions.
