[|Human|] I have a chronic infection of Staph Aureus in my lower spine for which I have been treated since 2010. In the past three months I have developed pain in both jaws as well as teeth. It started as an occasional occurance, and is now nearly constant. It is a sharp piercing pain. Could it be related to my infection? I hate to bother my infectious disease doc as he is so busy, but it feels too widespread for my dentist. Suggestions? Advice? Thank you.
[|AI|]  It could be related to spread of the Staph aureus, in which case I am sure your infectious disease doctor would want to know about it. But I recommend you do check first with your dentist, as it could be something else. You could have temporomandibular joint syn Chat Doctor.  This can cause pain in teeth and jaws. The dentist can get a panning x-ray view of your jaws and all your teeth and see if this is a possibility. Treatment would be quite different, as this is not an infection. A dentist could also check for other conditions that could be causing the pain. I suggest you start there before assuming this is spread of the staph. Hope this helps.
