See if chewing gum helps in changing your teeth grinding habit.

The habit of grinding your teeth is called Bruxism and is usually from one who is under stress and or anxiety. A dentist will construct a night to prevent damage to the enamel of your teeth. Sleep apnea could also cause grinding. Chewing sugarless gum can also help.

Best to see you Dentist or Dento-Facial Pain Specialist to determine cause of popping. May be due to anatomic anomalies, pernicious has its (grinding/clenching), previous trauma, arthritis, anxiety, malocclusion, etc. Once cause is determined, appropriate treatment can be prescribed.
