Of course: Teeth problems may not seem like they're related to anxiety, but they surely can be. A simple toothache can be devastating. See your dentist for exam and treatment.

Yes: As does having leg problems, eyebrow problems, ingrown toenail problems. Anything unusual can cause stress/anxiety. What is important is how you deal with it. If you have dental issues, don't stress out, call your Dentist who has the training and experience to treat your dental problems. Good luck.

Doesn't take much: People get anxiety over all sorts of things.. it would make sense that uncomfortable teeth could be a cause. See a dentist to evaluate your mouth.

It sure can: If someone is obsessed about their teeth they can become very anxious about them. There is so much emphasis on how one looks today that having an unattractive smile can surely lead to high anxiety about it. If your teeth are a significant source of pain and discomfort anxiety can most certainly occur as well. Seeing a dentist for an evaluation and taking care of needed treatment can help.
