tooth cavities/eye or around eye pain ..are they related?

Hello, my almost 3 y/o son is complaining from 4 months from pain around his left eye, he is complaining everyday (sometimes just looks like discomfort rather than pain) but sometimes he has like attack for 20 minutes of pain and it goes by itself. The pain looks like nerf pain or muscles.
We did brain MRI and check with neurologist and with ped. ophthalmoogist and everything is fine.
he has tooth cavities (decay) on both sides and i am wondering if tooth problem can gives him eye or around the eye pain?

Thank u for bringing my attention to this. I do appreciate.
Unfortunately, we have to run to diagnose our illness and our beloved ones because most of times doctors fails in it,,we have to suggest the diagnose!!

But I think we don't have orofacial pain specialist :(

Supraorbital pain is commonly associated with myofascial trigger point pathology of sternocleidomastoid muscle or a group of disease entities known as tirgemial autonomic cephalgia. If your neurologist and ophthalmologist are not familiar with these entities, you may need to see an orofacial pain specialist.
