Toothache RX: The severe chin pain along with your toothaches suggest a possible dental abscess . A root canal is also possible so i'd see a dentist as soon as possible.

Yes, it is emergency: Appointment is warranted. All pains about the mouth and the face to be of dental origin until proven otherwise. Dental infection due to tooth abscess, gum abscess or combination of both. It is a treatable condition. See your dentist for evaluation, x-rays and treatment. Most medical specialists cannot diagnose many cases of dental problems. Good luck.
