Ok, so I asked my mom this morning about my jaw feeling weird, and she said it was most likely a cavity that needed a filling, so she's getting me an appointment made pretty soon. Only thing is, it's not just that. My cheek isn't feeling weird like it would if I had a tooth ache and it only hurts when I bite down or open my mouth( eating breakfast was soooo painful Dx) and I only started feeling it this morning, it came out of nowhere. The strangest thing is that I feel really dizzy today. Like when I stand up it usually takes me a moment or two to focus, but it took me like a full minute or even more and I felt a little unsteady on my feet for a while. I'm not sure if this has any connection.

If the amount of pain is unbearable, I guess it can cause you dizziness, or at least some kind of movement limitations.

I know there is this jaw hinge thing called TMJ and the jaw hinge is right next to your inner ear which controls balance and I know it can cause dizziness. I got TMJ and it's nothing really to worry about. Just annoyed the hell out of me for a while.

Does seem like they are related from what you're saying,but it depends on which tooth too. There are nerves that run through your jawline,which links up to your eyes,nose,lips,upper tooth,cheeks,etc. It's very likely that both issues are corresponding to each other, as you said there's pain when you're biting down.

That sounds a lot like what I have, thanks, but would I need to see a doctor for this? :/

Nope. Dentist.
