Chipped tooth: Your jaw is more likely to be sore from bruxism (clenching\grinding of teeth) or from biting down on something hard that caused the tooth fracture in the first place. Pain can also radiate from the chipped tooth, an adjacent tooth or the sore tongue. Regardless, see your own dentist asap for a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment.

It might...: The sooner you see a local dentist to have that broken tooth restored the sooner you will feel better.

Definitely, yes: Traumatic ulcers of the tongue are usually the cause of the jaw pain. they are next to the cause of the damage (broken, sharp tooth) and go away once the source of the problem is removed. Fix your molar ASAP.
