A member asked:
Can wisdom teeth make you have a headache and cheeks hurt at once? and thanks for helping with my question

Yes: Your Dentist or Oral surgeon might be best able to answer this but if your wisdom teeth are causing pain, it can refer to the jaw which also present as headaches and cheek pain. They can also become impacted, or push adjacent teeth. Treatment is most often removal of these teeth. Consult your dentist or oral surgeon.

Yup: Wisdom teeth can cause all sorts of referred pain, from earaches, to headaches, and even jaw pain. See your dentist for a consultation.
