TMJ concern

TMJ concern

Hi everyone!

I would like to have some opinion on my TMJ Lateral Xray.
I haven't been able to schedule an appointment with a dentist regarding this specifically and I admit I have a tendency to commit to any recommended procedure (even expensive) while I'm at the clinic so any advice is appreciated!

My Concern: My jaw keeps clicking and I can feel it "go out of its socket". I don't really deal with pain but when I open my mouth wide like a yawn, theres a really loud pop sound and it get really clicky. When I was a kid, I was eating alone and suddenly had a locked jaw. I panicked and forced it open.

Also, I had an Xray of my bottom wisdom teeth, previously I was advised that if they don't bother me I don't need to get it pulled. Should I have it pulled anyway and could this help my jaw situation?

Thanks for any help!
