Question:
One and a half weeks ago I got a temporary crown on a back tooth, lower left side. I know that tooth will be sore until I get my permanent crown but is it normal to have pain in my jaw, ear, and upper portion of my mouth.

I have taken advil which doesn't seem to help but sinus medication seems to help some. The pain is bad enough to keep me awake at night. ...Valaine in AZ

Answer:
Valaine, It is not normal for a tooth to be sore as you describe. There are many possibilities. The temporary could be ill-fitting and impinging on your gum tissue, the temporary could be leaking badly, the tooth could be infected, or the bite could be off to mention just a few.

Perhaps a call to your dentist today could get a positive response to include seeing you today.
