Yes: Yes, pain in one tooth can make it feel like the teeth beside it are hurting or even teeth in the opposite dentition. The teeth nerves are interconnected which can lead to referred pain. I like to say the nerves get confused about where the pain is coming from. Dental exam and xrays can determine the exact tooth or teeth that are causing the pain.
