Can a constant headache mean you need your wisdom teeth out?

Not necessarily: See you dentist for a thorough evaluation and radiographs (x-rays) to determine if your wisdom teeth need to be removed.

Not likely: The vast majority of headaches are usually caused by muscle strain or too much blood flow. When wisdom teeth are impacted the can cause symptoms of pain in the area of the impaction on occasion. Seeing a dentist or oral surgeon for a panoramic xray and evaluation of your wisdom teeth can help determine if you need to have them pulled or if they may be contributing to your headaches.
