My dentist said that my top teeth aches couldnt affect my ears,said only bottom teeth affect ears is this true


Question:
I recently lost a filling and was scheduled for a root canal, I had intense pain in my ear and the dentist office told me that top teeth don't affect you ears only bottom teeth do, I had the root canal and my tooth and ear still hurts, it is a top bicuspid

Answers:
I am pretty sure that ANY tooth can also cause an earache. You might also have an infection in there leftover from the root canal.
I think you should get a second opinion from another dentist.

I don't think you can make a blanket statement that top teeth don't cause your ears to hurt. At least that has not been my experience. It's true that pain from bottom molars is rather known for shooting up to your ears and upper teeth hurt your sinus or your eyes, but never say never. Having said that, I would also say that it would be extremely unusual for an upper bicuspid to transmit pain to your ear. It is entirely possible that this in only one problem and you may have another problem in another tooth.
all the nerves in your face are connected, so unfortunately yes it can cause pain and a burning sensation in your ears..and the glands under your jaw bone to hurt, and just plain discomfort in your face no matter where the tooth is. I had the same problem recently, the pain in my ears was terrible, till i finally got a root canal, and the pain is gone. the tooth is the 4th over on the top. Good luck!
