Hello docs. i was wondering can wisdom teeth effect your ears and throat?

Pain: Referred pain from your wisdom teeth can make you feel like you have an earache or sore throat. In certain circumstances, an infection can spread under your tongue and to your throat, and that becomes a dangerous situation.

Of course: A pain around your ears and your throat is possible if your wisdom tooth is impacted.
