A
Occulomotor
B
Trigeminal
C
Facial
D
Glossopharyngeal
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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Damage to branches of the trigeminal nerve following maxillofacial surgery and dental treatment is unfortunately common, in most cases the symptoms are transient and patients fully recover sensation over time. Persistent nerve damage results in severe complications such as neuropathic pain and trigeminal neuralgias.
