What Causes Sudden Pain Behind The Ear?
I have a sudden sharp pain behind my ear and I feel it sometimes when I am at the dentist and my jaws are wide open for a while. I checked with my ear doctor and he said nothing is wrong with my ears... any suggestions? he said it could be nerve related.

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having some problem with your TM joint giving rise this problem particularly pain while opening mouth wide open.
There might be having lax muscles of TM joint.
Consult oral surgeon and get examined.
Avoid chewing hard stuff.
Ok and take care.
