    You need to make an appointment with your dentist and have your teeth checked.

    You can get jaw and ear ache if you have a tooth that needs treatment.

    Sometimes more often than not if you are grinding your teeth when sleeping that will also sensitize your teeth and also compact a tooth or crack a filling Your dentist needs to check you out

    You could make sure your ear is ok, try a drop of olive oil in your ear too loosen any compacted wax.

    If it does not clear, see your GP, however it may be connected to tooth ache and jaw.

    Yes, Been suffering for years from intermittent tooth pain on the left side. Pain radiates to ear, nose and head. (Ugh). Dentist, Endodontist and Oral surgeon all ruled out a dental origin although I’ve had lots of dental work. . Ear nose and throat Doc ruled out anything on his end. Neurosurgeon a ruled out anything in his specialty. It seems to get  worse for quite a while after dental work. A neurologist said it could be migraines. No one knows for sure. Probably the condition (what ever it is) is exacerbated by anxiety.
