For two days i have had ear/jaw/face pain on my left side and all of my teeth have become incredibly sensitive. is this an ear infection?

This could be an ear: infection... and also could be a sinus infection, especially with the sensitivity of your teeth. Either way, you may need an antibiotic, so please see your doctor to be properly diagnosed and treated.

Ear/jaw/face pain: May be due to ear or sinus infection requiring antibiotic. May be dysfunctional TMJ requiring occlusal orthotic, antiinflmatories, malocclusion correction, etc. may be tooth an/or gum/bone infection requiring both antibiotic and specific dental treatment. See both your MD/DO and your DDS/DMD.
