Absolutely: An infrared infection can be placing pressure on the nerves of your jaw. Why are you waiting so long? See a dentist ASAP to avoid further complications and possibly permanent damage

Yes, but: Could also be due to infected gums as well as infected tooth, neoplasm, neurologic disorder, change in Meds, systemic disorder, etc. please see your Dentist for differential diagnosis and treatment.
