Toothache causing ear pain may be due to conditions such as pulpitis.
If pulpitis or similar dental conditions are present, severe pain may occur. Without effective treatment, referred pain may develop, stimulating areas such as the ear and head.
Once diagnosed with pulpitis, treatment—such as pulpotomy and drainage surgery—can be performed at a hospital.
