Hello,
Welcome to health caremagic forum.
Pain which radiates into jaw may be due to deep caries or periodontal infection of associated tooth.
A thorough clinical as well as x-ray evaluation of the lesion is necessary to rule out the cause of toothache.
If there is Peri apical infection as well as abscess formation,tooth has to be root canal treated and abscess has to be drained completely.
Take complete course of augmentin along with analgesics.
Also check whether any impacted wisdom tooth is present ,which is inflammed.
If so,get it extracted or retained depending on the space available for tooth eruption.
Periodontially infected tooth has to be curetted.
Hope this helps.
