Probably not: It sounds like both need attention. I would suggest seeing a physician for the gerd and a dentist who can diagnose where the jaw pain is coming from for your jaw pain.

Jaw-Not usually,but: Gerd can cause acid erosion of tooth structure, leading to loss of the protective outer surface (enamel) and exposing the nerve-containing surface (dentin). With this exposure of nerves, a patient with severe acid erosion can have moderate to significant tooth pain.

Gerd and jaw pain: The jaw pain is caused because the jaw in a way to protect itself from the over production of acid through stomach and into the mouth will close and flex. The constant flex of muscles in jaw manifests as jaw pain and/or ear pain. The cause is always stress. Treating gerd and the jaw imbalance together will help. U need to see your physician and dentist and have them work together. Good luck!

GERD: http://www.barrettsinfo.com/content/2b_gerd.cfm Chest pain due to GERD may radiate down the arms, into the jaw, ear or neck and mimic heart disease. Continue to work with your internist on this.

SB and GERD: New research has linked SB and GERD. Sleep bruxism (SB) is prevalent in GERD patients, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is highly associated with SB. Therefore the jaw pain is very common.
