Hello, Thanks for your query. Joint noises, such as clicking, cracking or popping can happen if the articular disc has moved out of its normal position. The disc sometimes slips forward and as it returns to its normal position between the bones of your jaw joint, a noise is made. MEANWHILE YOU CAN DO: You may find over-the-counter painkillers, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, can help to ease your pain. Eat soft foods so you don’t have to chew food for too long. Stop wide yawning, singing, chewing gum and biting your nails. Stop any habits, such as clenching your jaw or grinding your teeth. Massage affected muscles and apply a heat pad, such as a hot water bottle (filled with warm but not boiling water) wrapped in a cloth or towel. Identify sources of stress and use relaxation techniques, such as massage. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
