See oral surgeon or: Orofacial Pain specialist for second opinion. The most common type of jaw pain is a toothache. A phlebolith is a small local, usually rounded, calcification within a vein. A panoramic x-ray is inconclusive test for this condition. I think finding a proper diagnosis and treatment may be the answer to your worries. Do not delay.

Hard to say: Hard to say how it could affect him without evaluation. See oral surgeon to sort things out
