Could The Injury On The Head Lead To Jaw Pain?

My lower jaw is missing 2 teeth (one from each side). Dentist did some work on one of my tooth on upper jaw. It's been couple years. Last 2 months, I had a trauma closed head injury. I hit the top of my head right into a metal door with a high pressure/tension. After that, my head has been hurting really bad, including dizziness, vision blurry, and migraine. Could my upper jaw getting bad due to an accident of closed head injury? CT scan shows negative. As of now, my tooth on upper jaw (right) is hurting, and my right side of forehead is hurting too. Please advise.

Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.

As per the history posted here I can assure you that,the present symptoms related to your teeth are not related to your head injury.

Since your scan shows no symptoms then you can be sure of any such symptoms.you can definitely get an orthopantograph x ray done.This will show you the condition of your jaw.Rest, it appears that the symptoms are due to decay or gum problems.

Hope it helps.
Thanks.
Take care.
