Could a toothache cause pain in the neck and upper chest?

Yes, and no.: Why talk about it? Go have it checked by an endodontist, then see your physician if your teeth are okay. You might be having a heart attack.

No chest pain: Toothaches will not cause chest pains. Chest pains could be signs of a heart attack. Please call 911 and get to hospital emergency room.

Pain in Neck/Chest: No, a toothache cannot cause pain in the neck and chest, though if it is a long-term abcess or serious dental infection, the associated pain may travel beneath your lower jaw and feel like it is in your neck and radiating elsewhere. Please visit your dds as soon as possible for a definitive diagnosis to treat your symptoms properly until you are pain free.
