What could cause my jaw would hurt and my teeth would ache?

Dental disease: Jaw and tooth pain is most likely dental disease in the form of tooth decay or a localized tooth infection. It can also be related to the muscles around the jaw in tmd (temporomandibular joint disease). A good dental specialist should be able to pinpoint where the problem is and how to best treat it.
