A member asked:
Are ear aches and toothaches related?

Sometimes: The nerves are all connectied in the head and neck so yes you can feel a problem tooth as an ear ache. Especially if the problem tooth is in the lower jaw. Go to your dentist and find out if there is a problem tooth.

Infrequently: While dental problems can refer pain to the ear, especially those of TMJ origin, more frequently they are related to other issues. I suggest that you first see a dentist to rule out any dental problems but i also advise my patients to consult with their physician or ENT specialist just to be sure.

Possible: Possible. See a DDS for tooth related problems. Another common cause of ear pain aside from ear problems is a TMJ problem. See a TMJ expert or oral surgeon for this problem.
