What Causes Pain Radiating From Jaw To Center Teeth?

I ve been very ill with a toothache . The pain becomes so severe, radiating from jaw joint to the center front teeth on top and bottom. I do have some teeth problems, but I worry about atypical heart pain or even TMJ. What do you think? Janice in Camden, AR

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain if you have decayed teeth and pain is severe in those teeth then it can radiate to entire half of the side on which the decayed tooth is present while can even radiate to the jaw, ear and even head/temple region..
I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like a full mouth x ray known as Panoromic x-ray can help in ruling out teeth as well as jaw joint related problems..
In case if it is not found to be the cause other causes like atypical facial pain and heart related problem can be investigated..
In case of tooth infection being the cause of the symptoms you can be advised either root canal treatment or extractions depending on condition of teeth followed by antibiotics and painkillers..
In case of jaw joint problems painkillers, muscle relaxants and mouth guards along with physiotherapy can be advised..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
