In October 23 I had got filling in right lower wisdom tooth and tooth adjacent to it. It started paining.Another dentist operated rct on both teeth after that in one month nearly in jan 2024 pain started in lower jaw. So went to same dentist who got rct done. She said due to grinding tmj affected and suggested to use night guard. But I knew this is not the problem. She made my life more miserable.as pain in jaw started only after her rct treatment..So went to another dentist he got removed wisdom tooth on 22feb 24. Pain intensity may be lowered. But still there is pain in lower jaw upto ears. Taking medicine from the dentist who extracted the tooth. But still pain is there. And I am sure it is not tooth pain I doubt nerve got affected

Hello,
Lower jaw pain which is radiating in nature could be due to many causes.
In your case, persistent perapical infections or even impacted wisdom teeth could cause the pain. However, since there is a history of treatment of the respective teeth, TMJ disorders and bruxism should be ruled out after examination.
Next Steps
Count a oral and maxillofacial surgeon to help you out.
