I've had a bad headache across my forehead, ear and neck pain and what feels like a tooth ache for about 8 weeks. i went to the doctor and he gave me antibiotics that didn't work. i went to a dentist and she said there's nothing wrong with my teeth but do

If pain is going??: Sometimes things don't show up and we must attempt to treat what may not appear obvious but clinical judgement leads us to. If all other test ruled out pathology. The trigrminal nerve in the face is the most complicated nerve in the body, cause sensation, movement, and a multitude of other inervations, this nerve can cause some of your symptoms at this point you need to see if the root canal works.

Not sure: You should not have root canal therapy unless there is a definitive diagnosis and the specific tooth can be identified. You may have atypical facial pain and i would suggest seeing someone who specializes or has extensive experience in treating oral-facial pain disorders.

See a TMJ dentist: See a TMJ dentist first, before you have a root canal. Sometimes there is a tooth problem that can cause all of the other pain in your head. It's possible that you could still need a root canal, but i'd make sure that the basic issues with your jaw is addressed before starting it. Try anti-imflammatory medication like ibuprofen, try cold packs to the parts of your head that hurts too.

Woah: You need a definitive diagnosis rather than shotgun treatment. See an endodontic specialist before having tooth surgery (root canal rx). Antibiotic shotgun rx didn't work, so now see an ear/nose/throat specialist. Have your TMJ evaluated by an orthodontist. You must have a diagnosis before attempting treatment.

TMJ expert: I would start with a TMJ expert to help sort our your problems. Any dentist can be a TMJ expert with the proper training and experience. Most commonly, oral surgeons, prosthodontists, and orofacial pain specialists. Ask your MD, your dentist and your dental society for referrals.
