What Causes Pain In Lower Left Jaw While Chewing?

Hi,
About a month ago I bit down and experienced pain in my lower left jaw. Gradually the pain became less and less but every time I chew on that side of my mouth I feel a sensation toward my left ear. I went to my dentist and he discovered that I have a small fracture in a tooth on the lower left jaw. He did not think it would be affecting the sensation I still feel in my left ear. Any ideas or suggestion to alleviate

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM

Read your query as you have pain in lower left region radiating to ear yes pain can be due to fractured tooth present in lowerleft side or pain can be due to periodontal problem or Tmj disorder .
Dont be worried so much I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for examination of oral cavity and investigations iopa xray of tooth to confirm the diagnosis .
Inmeantime do warm saline gargle two - three times a day and you can take medicine like ibugesic plus or diclomol by consulting with your local doctor .

Hope this will help you.
