See below: Shoulder pain can be referred from the neck or it could be locally from the shoulder. Common local problems include but not limited to arthritis, bursitis, impingement, rotator cuff tear, labral tears, biceps problems, stiffness, and instability. Jaw pain is unlikely related to shoulder pain. Other sources such as head or neck and oral cavity need to be considered.
