Question:
Ear and Tooth Pain: Is this TMJ? 6 months ago, I started to have shooting pain in my left ear and in my lower left molar which have been checked.

My dentist even took the nerve out of that tooth and crowned it. But I still have the same pain (ear-tooth).

I have seen a specialist who gave me a mouthgard to wear all the time. He said I should get better after 1 2 weeks, but I don't.

Is that normal? He regularly checks the mouthgard to adjust it. Could it take more time for the pain to ease? ....Visitor from France

Answer:
The first step is to have a specialist called an endodontist evaluate the remaining teeth to verify that there is not another symptomatic tooth.
