Shooting pains by jaw bone but u have a bad tooth could this be related ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Of course: If there is severe inflammation of the tooth, the pain can radiate to the cheek, the ear, or the jaw. In this situation the visit to a dentist is warranted. The pain won't go away on its own.
