Hi Louise, jaw cracking when chewing is very common, unless it's causing you pain it's fine. Mine cracks l the time but I do have pain to but I do have jaw tension and clench my teeth.

I have the same thing - it often runs in families, my mum and sister have it too. Sometimes it clicks when I yawn too.
