Answer 1

Does it get worse with your period?  Then it's definitely your wisdom teeth.

Try using Aleve or Advill to reduce swelling.

Also use an aerating oral rinse like "Vince" or "Amosan" or ask pharmacist..this should help greatly.

Maybe you ought to get a 3rd opinion...some dentists are into taking all wisdom teeth out.

I had mine out because they were impacted & also the dentist said I didn't have enough room for them to come in.  

Perhaps a trip to your reg. MD for blood tests wouldn't be a bad idea.

Good luck

Answer 2

If your teeth are bothering you, you should have them out.  The pain behind your ear is a lymph node (most likely)  it is swollen because your body is attempting to fight off some infection.  The infection could be from anywhere in yoour body, but since the teeth are bothering you, I would start here.
