   For proper digestion you need B vitamins.Lack of A,B complex,and C vitamins will cause the nerves in the mouth and jaw to become sensitive.If the C2 vertebra in the neck is misaligned that can cause severe pain in the jaw,teeth,tongue,throat,and eye.Can also be caused from ear infection,sinus infection,broken and infected teeth.If you live close to Wasco,Ca.,Campbell Chiropractic is a good place to start.

   I don’t think it can. Reflux can though, the acid can erode your teeth causing toothache.

   Depends on how severe your acid reflux is. You might think it’s just heartburn, but at night, when we are lying down, acid can creep up all the way to our throat. This acid erodes the enamel and dentin of your teeth, leaving the nerves more exposed which can make them sensitive.
   On the other hand, a lot of people who suffer from GERD, are people who manage their stress poorly and you might be suffering from TMJ disorder.
   This is a disorder that can go from acute or chronic inflammation of the temporomandibular joint, which connects the lower jaw to the skull. The disorder and resultant dysfunction can result in significant pain. Most people with this disorder also "grind" their teeth at night.
   Please tell your doctor about this, so he can refer you to a specialist.
