TMJ may cause jaw pain that feels like a toothache, headache, or earache. Teeth Grinding (Bruxism). Teeth grinding can cause jaw pain, and, since many people grind their teeth while they are asleep, you may not be aware that you're doing it. Some research suggests that up to 8% of adults grind their teeth during sleep.
