Can tmj or bruxism cause a toothache (or pressure feeling) on only one tooth alone?

Definitely, yes: the common symptom of Bruxism is aching and sensitive teeth. It could be a single tooth or a group of teeth. If diagnosed early, finding and eliminating the original cause may cure bruxism and tooth pain.

Yes: The pressure loading will transmit the bruxism force to certain weak teeth or tooth and causing pain. The best way to find repairing is necessary or not it to contact your dentist for evaluation.
