Do ear infections and wisdom teeth have a correlation?

Wisdom teeth and ear: There can be a concern if the wisdom teeth are partially erupted and increased potential infections. This could affect the eustacian tubes located in the throat, coming from the inner ear. Usually, infected wisdom teeth, when they cause problems, are felt more by the tmj, about 1/2 inch in front of the ear. Best to check with dentist and md to see if there is infection and how to treat it.

Possibly: Sometimes wisdom teeth pain can feel like an ear infection and sometimes an ear infection can feel as is you have a toothache.

No, but: No, but pain in and around the wisdom tooth can cause REFERRED PAIN to the ear. No actual ear problem. For best results, see a board certified oral & maxillofacial surgeon for assessment/recommendations.
