absolutely
Very frequently it can....almost always a bottom back tooth
yes it can. See you dentist and ENT
It certainly can.
Absolutely. Most ear pain in adults is referred from the throat or somewhere else.
Most definitely. Pain from a tooth can refer to the ear as well as ear to tooth.
Earaches can commonly occur from problems in other areas of the head and neck. TMJ as well as throat lesions or infections are common causes of "referred" ear pain due to nerves that connect the 2 sites. Dental pain can certainly cause earaches as well.
