Jaw periodically 'locking up'?

Question

Every so often, my jaw 'locks up' and I cannot open it very far at all--if I try to, I get a very sharp pain in the left of my jaw.

What is wrong?

Answer 1

I'm not sure wat the answer is..but iv been having jaw problems and when i search on google a thing called 'TMJ' comes up and some of the symptoms are jaw locking etc , you should really see a doctor.
