A member asked:

Can a bottom wisdom tooth cause ear pressure?

8 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

Yes: Ear pain and discomfort are common with infections of lower teeth, particularly the molars. Lower molars and the ear are both innervated by the same nerve so referred pain to the ear is often seen.

Yes: It is very common for the lower wisdom tooth to refer pain or pressure to the ear. It is worth checking it out.
