Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
Yes teeth pain in some cases may be an equivalent of chest pain. This is why he should be scheduled for a cardiologist appointment.
If he was my patient I would recommend to do the following examinations:
- Blood work
- Ecg
- Cardiac echo
- Stress test
Hope this will be of help to you!
Wish you health and your family.
