Can wisdom tooth cause ear pain?
Answered by Shruti Samant
Yes, wisdom teeth can cause ear pain. This is caused by the tooth being blocked from fully erupting through the gums. If a wisdom tooth’s path is blocked, it grows in at an angle and damages your gums and jaw.
- When it comes to wisdom tooth pain, don’t ignore it or wait to visit the dentist.
- By removing the impacted wisdom teeth, it will prevent infection and further problems that could arise by leaving them infected for longer than necessary.
Some of the signs of an impacted wisdom tooth include:
- Swelling, tenderness, and pain in your gums
- Bad breath
- Pain in your jaw and jawline
- Difficult to open your mouth

Yes!
Errupting, decayed or impacted wisdom teeth can lead to discomfort and pain. Ear pain is one of symptoms of wisdom teeth. It is usually referred pain. Impacted wisdom teeth are very common often because there’s not enough room in the mouth for them to grow in. This may cause them to:- emerge at an angle
- get stuck in the jaw
- push against the other molars
When wisdom teeth grow into a mouth that doesn’t have enough room for them, it can cause other teeth to shift, resulting in an improper bite. An improper bite can cause your lower jaw to compensate, and this may cause pain and soreness, including headaches and earaches.

Wisdom teeth, are located at the back of the mouth. In certain cases, the roots of the lower wisdom teeth may extend close to the region where the mandibular nerve passes. Irritation or inflammation of this nerve due to issues with the wisdom teeth, such as impaction or infection, can cause referred pain, which may be felt in the ear.

Addressing the underlying cause, whether it's impaction, infection, or inflammation related to wisdom teeth, is crucial to relieving ear pain in such cases. Contact your nearby dentist.

Yes, an impacted or infected wisdom tooth can produce earaches. The lower wisdom teeth are very close to the jaw joint (temporomandibular joint commonly called TMJ) and hence these can cause referred pain that is felt in ear too. Moreover, inflammation or infection around a wisdom tooth can cause pain that is referred to the ear. If you have recurrent pain in the ear, especially at the background of wisdom tooth, it is recommended that you should seek dental consultation so as to carry out a comprehensive diagnosis for effective management
