Wisdom teeth: Wisdom teeth cannot cause neck spasms to my knowledge. Head pressure is a vague symptom. Certainly wisdom teeth can cause pain and pressure throughout the jaws, face and even the head. See a board certified oral surgeon in consultation to determine if your wisdom teeth are causing the problem and whether they need to be removed.

Accepted Answer

: A periapical tooth abcess is sepsis but I think it's localized in your case with no relationship to leg &amp; foot pain.  More description of this pain would help us give a cause for those symptoms. See your physician as needed.
