Could The Eye Twitching Be Related To Pain In The Jaw Due To Prepping For Crown?

I had a tooth prepped for a crown last Tuesday. Since then, I have had a lot of pain in my jaw, and I have been unable to open my mouth all of the way. Today, my eye has started twitching. alot! It is the eye on the same side as the work in my mouth. might this be related?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having twitching of the eye following a dental procedure.
Twitching of the eyelids can be seen because of stimulation of nerves as a result of painful conditions. This will decrease with treatment of the painful conditions by antiinflammatory drugs.

Thank you
