Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Although cavities or an abscess can be the underlying cause of teeth and jaw pain, these symptoms also relate to a more serious nerve disorder known as trigeminal neuralgia. Experienced neurosurgeon, Christopher Duma, MD, FACS, recommends that you follow through with a dental check-up for tooth pain at its onset.
