What Causes Left-sided Pain In The Jaw Radiating Towards The Ear After Tooth Removal?
I m having mouth problems. Just got wisdom teeth taken out like a month ago . Had a partial thing done for a root canal like two weeks ago. My left side (where I got my root canal) huuurts. Jaw hurts. Teeth hurt. Pain in my cheek, jaw, all the way to my ear. I have not chewed anything on that side either within these two weeks either because it hurts that bad.

Hi.
Thanks for the query.
Pain is due to incomplete root canal treated tooth only as there can be re-infection in the root canal treated tooth causing pain.
It is causing radiating pain in jaw and ear.
So first of all you should consult an Oral Physician and get an X-ray of the tooth done and you should get the root canal treatment procedure re-done followed by capping of the tooth.
For now take a course of antibiotics and painkillers and do cool compresses over the cheek.
Hope this helps
Regards
