Jaw pain that’s been happening for month
I’ve had a great amount of pain in my bottom left jaw when I chew or move it. I DID have a wisdom tooth extraction in June but the pain started about two months ago. I’ve tried to take several painkillers and yet the pains still there.

There could be a cavity in the adjacent tooth ( which was next to the wisdom tooth) . You need to get an X-ray done to diagnose if some portion of wisdom tooth was left behind or some other tooth is the cause of pain
