Multiple questions: There are more causes for jaw pain and for dry mouth than there is space on this page to list all the possible causes. Please see your Dentist and report your problems in exquisite detail. Your Dentist can then examine you (which we can't do on this site, perhaps ado lab tests and imaging, and then discuss your case-specific diagnosis and available treatments.
