I have sharp pain on my left cheekbone and temple and eye its a tight throbbing pain could this be a tooth problem? i take tylenol (acetaminophen) and it doesn't help

Could be: I would definitely check out the upper left premolars and molars to assess the health of the pulps. I would also assess the left TM joint and the maxillary and frontal sinus for the presence of pathology. Detoxing the pathology will get rid of your pain.

Maybe: Depending on how long it has been going on it could be a tension headache, tooth pain,, a sinus infection, grinding your teeth at night. First try some ice or heat around area and an anti inflammatory like Motrin (with food) and see what happens. If it hurts to chew and continues I would get tooth checked out.

See a doctor: This could be due to a tooth abscess, but with the other areas involved, this may be TMJ , mastoiditis, possibly trauma to the temporal or orbital bones, inflammation, cellulitis, or other irritation to the jaw; the list goes on. An oral surgeon or ENT would the best docs to evaluate these symptoms, with some scanning, MRI, or X-Rays to aid in diagnosis, see a doc soon

See a Pro: The most likely cause of the symptoms you describe is infection. Tylenol (acetaminophen) will not cure an infected tooth. Please see a Dentist before the infection spreads and creates complications. If your problem is not dental, your Dentist will refer you to the appropriate Physician for care.

Trigeminal: neuralgia, an inflammation of the trigeminal nerve in your face can cause the exact symptoms that you are describing. Please consult a physician ASAP as this condition ( also known as tic doloureux ) can become exceptionally painful.

Sharp pain: It could be an infected or fractured tooth, a sinus infection, or a symptom of TMJ dysfunction. See your dentist for an examination and x-rays. If there are no dental issues, see your medical doctor or an ENT specialist.
