Yes: Bruxism can cause too much stress on the temporomandibular joints(hinges of the jaws)and is a cause of chronic jaw pains. The same type of tension and stress on the neck and shoulder muscles can do the same.

Your symptoms: Bruxism can radiate and cause other adjacent areas and muscles to experience pain. I assume and hope you are also being treated for the tooth infection. Your symptoms require a one on one medical and dental history as well as a clinical exam. Please do not rely on internet diagnosis and advice. This website can only answer general questions and does not replace a proper personal evaluation.
