[|Human|] hi I have a servire shooting pain from the bottom of my jaw to my ear on the left side I get it every time i eat something cold or too hot stays there for 2 to 3 hours. I have only 4 teeth at the front and 3 stumps on the right side on the bottom no teeth on the top. Ive been to the dentist and he has said i need to have all my teeth taken out but cant get this done for 8 to 10 months im on the waiting list but he sid that had nuthing to do with my jaw pain so what can it be
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Pain can be infection of the tooth that had spread to the periapical tissues leading to formation of abscesses, this pain can be radiating to the jaw and ear. You need to take x-ray before extraction , better an OPG x-ray. Since you cannot do the treatment right now take tab amoxiclav 625 mg twice , tab Aerosol twice all this for 5 days . Use lukewarm saline gargles 3-4 times , Avoid eating hot and spicy food, use antiseptic mouthwash gargles like chlorhexidine or Betadine twice daily. Root stumps need to be extracted, Depending upon the condition of the front tooth determine the treatment , discuss with your dentist, It will be better if you go for complete mouth extraction as there are no teeth on the upper arch.  After healing of both the jaws you can go for complete dentures upper and lower. Hope this helps out. Regards.
