My left ear has hurt for a few days and now the area where my wisdom tooth was removed years ago hurts on the same side?

Specializes in Surgery - Oral & Maxillofacial

Oral surgeon: See an oral surgeon for assessment. Can be related to past wisdom tooth removal, possibly the tooth in front, possible TMJ. Diagnosis first. See an oral surgeon.
