Can tmj cause pain in a specific tooth or teeth? thank you?

Yes: TMJ is an inflammation of the joint that is typically caused by stress related clenching of teeth during sleep. This clenching can cause molars to teeth to break or crack causing pain in individual teeth/molars. If you suspect that you have tooth/molar crack or breakage see a dental health professional for diagnosis and treatment
