Needs evaluation: We can't diagnose your issues over the internet, sight unseen and without appropriate x-rays. Could it be related to a wisdom tooth? yes, but it could also be from a number of other causes. In fact, you might have more than one issue at the same time. See a dentist to find out for sure. What's important is not what it might be from, but what it actually is from. Then get the proper treatment.
