Can Wisdom Tooth Cause Eye Pain And Headache?
im a 24 year old man who has eye pain behind the right eye. I also have a wisdom tooth growing in on the same side. I get headaches that start in my right temple...and make its way behind my right eye. When i massage my eye i feel the pain worse. But when i massage the nerves on the right side of my neck it feels a tad better. I thought it may be cluster headache, except for the fact that i get this pain every single day not once or twice a month. Can it be my wisdom tooth causing this pain?

A wisdom tooth can result in referred pain to the head, ear, side of the face. Pl consult a dentist to identify if the pain is related to the wisdom tooth.

Hello,
Thanks for consulting HCM,
Read your query, as you have pain in head and eye region yes it can be due to wisdom tooth eruption causing pain , may be your tooth is impacted or partially erupted not geting enough space to erupt due to dense bone present causing pain .
I will suggest you to consult dentist and go for examination of wisdom tooth and position of wisdom tooth whether it is impacted or erupting , in meanwhile do warm saline rinses , you can use beatadine gargle and for pain you can take analgesic like Diclomol or ketrol dt by consulting with you doctor .
Hope this will help you.
