What Causes Crunching Sound In Jaw And Eye Floater?

I am concerned as I am hearing a crunching sound in my jaw when I speak. This is very new. Additionally, I recently developed an eye floater...on the same side as the crunching. Are they related. I am overseas and not able to go to my normal doctor. Are either emergencies?

The crunching sound in jaw is because of TMJ problem. You need to control this immediately. Eat only soft food. Avoid very hard food. Also avoid opening your mouth too wide. Relax your jaw muscles. See that you don't clench your jaws while sleeping and if you do so then you need to wear protective prosthesis. Eye floater is not related to jaw crunching.
