You probably have TMJ. The clicking is okay. But, if it continues, check in with your dentist for exercises to relax your jaw. One way to alleviate it is to make sure you are not clenching your teeth--get a nighttime mouthguard. Also, find exercises to loosen up your neck and shoulders, since they carry the weight of your head. Right now, you are using your jaw, however weird it sounds.
Its not exactly bad, but only a bad habit like clicking your knuckles.
I do it quite a lot which annoys me because it eventually gets sore :L
Its mainly due to stress like when you clench your teeth together.
Teeth clicking or teeth grinding? Teeth Grinding is just something that a lot of people do, called Bruxism. o like, a way to stop is from damaging your teeth is to wear a mouthguard at night (they come in clear) or a sport mouthguard. :) Hope it helped :)
My jaw clicks too and when I went to see why, it it probably because of your jaws are rubbing on each others, producing a clicking, or cracking noise. And that is because your jaws are growing, or your mouth so they sometimes rub. For me, the dentist just said that I need to wait, because for my case, it was just a growing thing.
When you open your jaw and your jaw clicks or you feel your jaw stretching then you probably have the growing thing.
And if your jaw gets tired by chewing meat, or whatever, then you probably have the growing thing.
If you are worried, you can ask your dentist about it.
