Can a lower molar tooth ace cause left ear and left neck pain?

Yes: If the lower molar is on your left side. If it was on your right side, it would not make your left side hurt.

Yes: A tooth ache can cause associated pain in the ear and neck. Recommend getting the lower molar treated, and should alleviate your associated ear and neck pain.

Definitely, yes: Sometimes the ears and neck will ache because there is trouble with the lower molar tooth (referred pain), but this is not common. Most of the aches caused by dental problems can easily be taken care of by a dentist. Call your dentist for evaluation and diagnosis.
