Pain in ear and temple
A couple of days ago had visited a dentist cause one of the tooth in which root canal HD been done years ago the cap had chipped off and was having sensivity. on seeing the doctor he had the bridge capping removed and traced n abcess behind the same tooth. he suggested tooth removal. Had it done ND after a course of antibiotics ND patiently waiting for the extracted tooth area to heal had the bridge capping redone. Was feeling fine but post dental procedure after two days started having temple and ear pain and pain behind the ear. Revisited the dentist and took some pain killers and mouthwash however mild pain is still there. the dentist checked the teeth and the capping and took various X-ray's and concluded pain not related to teeth. pls advise further

If you have no pain associated with the wound and if doctor has taken x-rays and no abnormality was detected then it may not be related to tooth. You may be experiencing symptoms or sinusitis . If bending or moving your head side to side worsens the pain then it is in all probability sinusitis. Avoid direct fan or ac , cover face while sleeping and do hot fomentation (dip cloth in hot water and apply over the temple and areas of pain). This should only be done after the wound has somewhat healed not immediately after extraction. In case the extraction socket shows loss of clot (dry socket)severe pain can start and usually dentist gives packs to cover the exposed bone. If pain is of that nature visit your dentist again.

There might be few reasons for your symptoms. If the wound following extraction is healed than get the bridge checked for any high points.
Next Steps
Ask the dentist to check for any high points.
