What doctor specializes in the jaw?

For years I've had this popping noise in my jaw, when I go to the dentist and have to open my mouth as wide as I can, it feels like my jaw locks up, when I yawn my jaw feels like its going to get stuck, and then I get a weird cramp in my neck and chin. Is this normal?

    See your health care provider as soon as possible (oral and maxillofacial surgeon), for consultation.

    Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome is pain in the jaw joint that can be caused by a variety of medical problems.

    See a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

    I hope this helps you. And good luck.
