Can an abscess wisdom tooth cause your throat and ear to hurt?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: While it will usually hurt most in the area of the abscessed wisdom tooth, the pain can radiate to the throat and ear areas. Many other things can cause throat and ear pain as well, so you should have this checked out by both a dentist and your M.D. To determine what is going on and how best to treat it.

Yes: See your oral surgeon. Go now and get it taken care of before the infection spreads and affect other areas. Do not wait. Good luck.
