Dental\Medical?: A dental problem can cause referred and\or radiating pain to other areas of the head such as your ears. Whether or not this is the cause of your earache can only be determined by seeing a physician. Yes, have it checked out just to be sure.

No, see a dentist: a tooth infection won't go away without treatment and the infection may spread to your jaw, cheeks, sinus and to other areas of your head and neck. Dentist will treat a tooth abscess by treating the cause and getting rid of the infection. See your dentist ASAP.
