You might think that, because you routinely crack your knuckles and there’s nothing wrong with it, you don’t have to worry about popping in other joints, such as your jaw joint.
First of all, there are potential problems with cracking your knuckles (such as risk of acute injury, decreased hand strength, and swollen joints). And your jaw joint is a different type of joint from your knuckles, so the popping associated with TMJ has a very different cause, which is much more serious.

Many people experience TMJ symptoms, but tend to get them on just one side. They often ask us if it’s possible to develop temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) on one side. The answer is: yes, but it’s usually not just that side that’s affected. As the condition progresses, new symptoms will likely show that both joints are affected.
