Can tooth pain lead to pain in other places

Recently I've been experiencing some minor tooth pain on my left side due to a cavity that needs to be filled. However I'm also experiencing pain in my left lower jaw as well as my armpit which is sometimes very sharp pains that radiate to my breast and down my arm to my elbow. (all left sided) could this be related? I'm 27 and do have a history of dental problems but have never experienced these other symptoms before.

    hi, the jaw pain could be you gritting you teeth because of the pain in your tooth. in your sleep. But I think you need to see the doctor about the other pain. I sometimes get sharp pain in weird places due to trapped wind and indigestion, but going down to your elbow sounds not connected to that.
