Dr. Theodore Davantzis answered

Specializes in Dentistry

It can at times....: The maxillary and mandibular jaws are innervated by the trigeminal nerve. This nerve has many branches in the head and face and irritation on one branch may manifest itself as referred pain in another branch. See your dentist to rule out any problems with your teeth.
