A member asked:

Do people sometimes suffer from jaw ache and toothache as a result of stress?

Clinching : Stress may lead to grinding and clinching your teeth and both may cause jaw aches, please check with your dentist and let him determine if you grinds your teeth or not.

Wearing a mouthguard: Can protect too much compression on your joints and dentition. Sometimes, too much pressure can cause teeth to crack. See a dentist with a TMJ backround.

Absolutely!: Other possibilities are a cracked tooth, loose filling, or sinus/allergies.

Clenching: If with stress you clench and grind your teeth, yes. Without clenching/grinding, no.
