which type of jointlets the head move from side to side
A saddle joint allows for side to side movement. The Carpometacarpal joints (fingers) are saddle joints.
Saddle joint allows you to move side to side!

The joint here is a synovial pivot joint allowing for rotation in the transverse plane. THis means its the joint that allows you to turn your head form side to side.
The kind of synovial joint form is the hinge joint, because of its primary uniaxial range of movement (as in shaking your head "yes") There is also a small amount of side to side bending which can be done, and rotation is possible at this joint.
The very best example of a pivot joint is the axis and atlas in the spinal column. This involves the very first two vertebra which allow you to turn your head from side to side.
A pivot joint allows movement around the joint. The movement is a pivot or turning. A pivot joint is found between the first and second vertebral joint. This allows you to turn your head.A pivot joint can make a rapid turning motion. When you look from one side to the other side you are making a pivotal movement. A dancer turns rapidly on 1 foot is making a pivotal movement. If you make it quick turn to go back the way you were coming that is a pivotal movement.
The odontoid of the second cervical vertebrae (ie: the axis) forms a joint with the anterior ring of the first cervical vertebrae (ie: the atlas). This joint is primarily responsible for allowing the head to rotate from side to side as if you were nodding "no" to someone. See the related link for further information.

The Cervical (neck) vertebrae.
Rotation
Bones connect to one another in joints which are referred to as articulations. Your head, or skull, has a bone at its base called the occipital bone. It articulates with the first cervical vertebrae, at the top of your neck, called the atlas, or C1. The two join together to form the atlanto-occipital joint which is a gliding joint sometimes called the yes-yes joint because it allows for movement of your head from side to side. Just like when you are saying 'yes.'
Rotation
scalene
The sternocleidomastiod. Theres one on each side of the neck going from your occipital bone (back of head) down to your clavical (collar bone).
how can you tell if the head is cracked from the exhaust side
Atlantoaxial - synovial; pivotThe joint between the atlas and axis is called the atlanto-axial joint. It is comprised of the anterior portion of the ring of C1 and the odontoid process (or dens) of C2. This joint allows for about 50 percent of the side to side rotation of the head.*a.k.a. Pivot Synovial JointThe joint that is located between the atlas and the axis vertebrae is the pivot joint. This is due to the fact that the axis (2nd vertebra) protrudes through the vertebral foramen and this allows you to turn your head side to side. Try and shake your head "no," this is due to the pivot joint of the two vertebrae! this joint also known as atoaxoid jointpivotit is called the atlanto-axial jointThe joint between atlas and axis is called the atloaxoid joint. This joint is a pivot joint that allows the head to turn from side to side.
