Possible: Some patients experience referred pain from a tooth infection. Patients can report pain on the upper teeth, the side of their face, pain up to their ears, and headaches. However, get evaluated to see if this is true in your case, or if something else is going on.

It can: Toothache is sign of serious infection. The more the infection spreads, the more peripheral symptoms. The tooth requires immediate attention (filling and/or root canal or extraction) to treat and to prevent spread of infection. Antibiotics may help control the spread of infection, but will not cure the infection. Lease put down the computer and call your dentist now.
