hello and thanks for consulting HCM
untreated infected tooth can lead to spread of infection.
sometimes it can lead to ludwigs angina (involvement of all three lymph glands in jaw).
i would strongly recommend you to visit a dentist and get it treated.
as far as your chest pain is concerned it can be due to other infection also.
hope this answer helps. take care
