Can wisdom teeth cause ear pain?

Question

my wisdom teeth are coming in and the bottom right one is causing the most pain. recently, i have had sharp pain in my left ear that comes and goes not very frequently. can that be due to the teeth coming in?

Answer 1

Absolutely!  Your wisdoms can most definitely cause ear pain.  You'll need to get it removed soon, you should make a dentist appointment.  If it's not your wisdom tooth causing the pain, you may also have TMJ which could also cause pain in your ear/s.  Your dentist should be able to check you for TMJ as well.  I hope you feel better soon :(

Answer 2

It can be an array of things.  The best way to find out is to seek medical attention, if there are no findings with your primary care giver then seek out the opinion of a Dentist, but from what you are describing I would seek out the Dentist/Oral Surgeon 1st.  Wisdom teeth are known to be troublesome, that's why many people opt to have them removed. Good Luck!
