What is causing the temple pain due to toothache?

  Toothache causing temple pain is a common clinical condition. The nerve that innervates the tooth is the trigeminal nerve, and the trigeminal nerve probably travels from the temporal part of the ear to the teeth, so in some cases of severe tooth pain, there is a significant pain in the temples.  More common is acute pulpitis, which is typically characterized by radiating pain, increased pain at night and difficulty in localizing the pain. The radiating pain is the pain of acute pulpitis, which often radiates to the auriculotemporal region, the temple.  Of course, in addition to acute pulpitis, this includes post-extraction dry socket, trigeminal neuralgia, and the acute phase of pericoronitis of the wisdom teeth, all of which may cause temple pain.  In this case, it is necessary to specifically address the primary focus of the lesion and treat the toothache at its root to relieve the radiating pain symptoms of temple pain.
