TMJ PROBLEMS: This is probably from your temporal mandibular joint also known as your TMJ. It can become inflamed and irritated and cause a snapping or popping sound while chewing or moving your mouth. Make an appointment to see a dentist or other medical professional that specializes in TMJ treatments.
