My husband is having major problems with his teeth. 8 of them are broken and if anything gets in them or he brushes his teeth he is in severe pain for days . Now his ear , jaw and throat are starting to hurt from it. Any suggestions on what might be causing the pains?:confused:

From my experiences I would assume it's the cracked teeth and the material and particles getting in the cracks and inflaming the tissue and nerves in the jaw bone area. I would see a Density and a doctor and nit full with this. I know for a fact that a friend had a heart attack because of his teeth. He developed a very low grade infection for a long time and it got into his blood stream for a very long time and it actually did damage to his heart and he had a heart attack because if it.
The pain your husband is experience could be from a number of things
I can share some information on teeth If you get a low grade infection especially in the back molars jaw area There a tube that runs from the ear to the lower side of the jaw its called an stash tube. When that gets aggravated and its reaction causes within hours an ear ache and sore throat. I had some problems when food got into a cracked too and down into the gums and had a similar problem because I had a filling fall out and I didn't address it to get it filled. As a result I get food particles in that area and after a hour or two I would get an ear ache and the side of my throat would get sore quick. His brushing may aggravate the nerve in the cracked teeth and bother it for days . Not unlike when you get deep fillings filled the dentist drill excites that nerve and it takes a couple of days to come down and the brushing can cause the basic same results.
I would see the dentist and the doctor right after that. You dentist knows more about what your teeth can DI to your body than a doctor. So see both. My

Your husband definitely needs to get to a dentist ASAP. 21boat is right, if there is infection running through your husbands' body from his teeth it can cause serious health issues including death.

I'm having same problem, ear pressure, jaw pressure , teeth pressure.. I went to an ENT and a dentist both said there is nothing wrong, but I don't feel comftable , there is something bothering me on my left side of the head, behind my ear, it's the ear , teeth and jaw same side..

ghenwa,

If you don't have teeth that are broken down or decayed then possibly you are grinding your teeth when you sleep. If stress levels have been high for you there is a very good chance that you are dealing with it in your sleep.

Did your dentist take a panoramic x-ray, one that goes right around your head? You should rule out the possibility of any impaction, cysts or tumours in your jaw bone.

A massage therapist, chiropractor or physiotherapist may be able to help if there is definitely no pathology. If the dentist does see signs of grinding then he/she could make you an appliance to wear at night to help take the stress off the teeth and joint.

Dear Flossy,
thank you so much for your reply, he did X-Ray only for the tooth that he suspected of doing this problem, it turned out that it's not it.. That's my last tooth ( 6) number (5) is removed, the dentist discovered that the fifth tooth from up is pushing down bcoz underneath it is missing, and I felt by pressing on it the pain is less in my jaw, it's more probably like u said I'm pressing too much on my teeth not just during my sleep but even during the day, which I'm trying to control.. I have to fill the empty space with a crown or something then fix the pressure on the teeth.. Thank you again for lighting it up

I had my share of trouble with bad teeth and yes, I can confirm that the throat and ear pain is related to the teeth problem. I had a throat pain a month before my molar started to hurt, I even quit smoking because of that, I thought I have a serious throat condition. It turns out that my molar needed treatment, it was quite an adventure but I eventually solved the problem to a <a href="http://www.dentistbeverlyhillsca.com/">Beverly Hills dentistry</a>, I suppose your husband is fine by now as well.

I have a very similar problem, and no dentist will see me without insurance or a hefty down payment. Mine has persisted several months, and I've also noticed that when the pain flares up I feel dizzy and I've fallen on numerous occasions. Can having a broken tooth cause you to do any damage to your inner ear, or perhaps pressure builds that causes the vertigo/dizziness? Thanks in advance for any information.
