Headache & Tooth: Yes indeed, patients at my chicago practice quite often relay that they experience pain in the ear and radiating pain and ha unilaterally on the side of a problematic wisdom tooth when they come for consultation. Typically it is episodic and varies from a dull ache to throbbing pain.

Possibly: best to see a dentist for xrays and evaluation to confirm that there is a potential relationship

Not uncommon: But may also be 2 separate and distinct problems that are manifesting at the same time. Please see your Dentist or an Oral Surgeon for evaluation.
