Yes: Tooth clenching can cause toothache like symptoms. Wearing a nightguard can relieve your symptoms. If damage has occurred you may have a fractured tooth. You should see your dentist for an examination and options. Good luck.

Yes: Clenching and grinding your teeth together while you sleep can stress your jaw joint as well as your teeth. If there are particular teeth that interfere with each other as you grind your teeth together, these teeth can become especially sensitive or painful.

Yes: Teeth can chip, crack, break due to clenching and the nerve (the pulp) may react by slowly or rapidly dying.) see a dentist asap.
