: Your temple pain is likely radiated from the tooth if same side, relatively common. A variety of other conditions are still possible, temporal arteritis unlikely, sorry Dr Google.

Google is not a Physician!!!! You might have some neuralgia. I would get advice from Physician/Neurologist. They would be a better source of advice.
