Brief Answer:
Yes you can use nitro. It is safe.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The ache in the jaw wit earache is likely to be due to your bad teeth or an inflammation of the temporo- mandibular joint.
It is best to get yourself thoroughly evaluated by a cardiologist before going for any procedure. Taking nitro for angina is not going to cause you any harm as it is a life saving drug in case of angina and the benefits outweigh the risks involved. You can take it as and when required.
For the jaw ache, you can take a mild pain killer till then and do a mild hot fomentation for symptomatic relief.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
