Jaw pain in your area of your teeth can certainly be caused by a cavity. When to tooth has a cavity, you body react with pain. That pain tells the body that there is something wrong. An inflammatory response is the body’s reaction to heal the area. Because the tooth is stiff structure and a closed system with one way in and out, pressure builds up in the tooth causing pain. Inflammation continues to affect the area the pressures spreads to the bone resulting in jaw pain or a tooth ache. If you jaw pain is in your ear area, that may indicate a Temporal Mandibular Joint Disorder. This is not associated with a tooth cavity. It can be the result of malocclusion (misaligned teeth), grinding or clenching. In both cases, I would advise consults you dentist as soon as possible. Either situation will resolve itself with time.. READ MORE

It could be a simple gingivitis, which will require some level of dental cleaning by a professional or on the other spectrum, it could be inflammation in the bone, which may require surgical intervention. In both instances, I would suggest makes an appointment with your dentist for a consultation and evaluation. READ MORE
