Painful Jaw Line
I have pain on my jaw line which is directly in line with a cavity I have in my tooth do you think is it related ?

Hi Chris,
The pain maybe due to the cavity especially if its long standing resulting in spread of infection below the tooth. Please notice if it is also accompanied by swelling. I would strongly recommend you to visit your dentist and get the cavity checked. He will take an xray and decide if it just needs to be filled or root canal is to be done. He may also advice an antibiotic course during the treatment.

Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Painful jaw line which is associated with the cavity may be due to spread of infection through the decayed tooth into the periapical area.
I would advice you to get clinical as well as x-ray evaluation done by a dentist.
Root canal treatment has to be done to remove entire infected pulp.
Take complete course of amoxycillin as well as diclofenac tablets.
Meanwhile,maintain oral hygiene well.
Take care.

Dear friend.
Thanks for sharing your concern.
Definitely, it is related.The pain due to tooth decay can be experienced in the jaw too.very deep cavities might cause abscess and spread in the alveolar bone causing periapical granuloma there.
Therfore please do not ignore and get it examined and treated too.
Hope it helps.
Thanks.

hello and welcome to hcm,
maximally the dental pain is radiating type of pain.
definitely this cavity is the reason for the same, as the infection has crosed the core of tooth , ie, Pulp.
visit the dentist asap and get the check up done. he will also take one x-ray for that tooth.
thanks
