Left jaw radiating pain while chewing
Hi

Thanks in advance
A radiating pain with a large cavity mostly means that you may need an root canal treatment. Mostly likely your tooth may have become non-vital (dead) , hence you have no sensitivity. Visit your dentist for a confirmative diagnosis.
Next Steps
Continue brushing, and avoid eating from the affected area

Tooth cavity might be the cause (to be confirmed clinically)
Else, you might be suffering with TMJ pain.
