[/INST] Hello, thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. The pain which you are mentioning is not actually a tooth pain, it is the pain of the joint of jaws (Temporomandibular joint) which is situated below the ear. That is why you are experiencing pain in opening the jaws. For the treatment you have to visit a good oral medicine specialist as he will examine the joints properly and start with the treatment. Hope it will help you. </s>
