Tooth grinding (bruxism) could cause pain in the jaw muscles, but not in the salivary glands. Sore jaw muscles would not explain pain when you drink fluids (most of us don't chew our drinks!), but it's conceivable that muscle spasm could be exacerbated by application of cold stimuli to the affected muscles. It's worth a try, but it sounds like your dentist is trying an educated guess rather than working with a confirmed diagnosis...

up question: I went to the dentist and he said the jaw and glands were inflammed from teeth grinding; they fit me with a night guard and said that it would help. Does this sound likely?
