Can a growing wisdom tooth cause headaches even if i am without toothaches?

Generally, no.: Although it's dangerous to make any monolithic rules with regard to subjective symptoms, most wisdom teeth that become symptomatic will manifest their symptoms locally, and not exclusively in a location remote from their position. So, although the pain from an infected wisdom tooth may provoke a headache, the presence of headache without mouth pain should send the diagnostic exploration elsewhere.

Not growing: Hi. It wouldn't be the "growing" of wisdom teeth that would cause you to get headaches. What i'd suggest you do is to pay attention to wether or not you find yourself clenching your teeth or grinding them together. Most people do this when they sleep but many also tend to clench during the day or when they are stressed, working out, or in thought. This could be the source of your head aches.
