    Wisdom Tooth Headache?
    I have had a headache for what seems like forever now in my temple and forehead region. My jaw kills me from day to day. I grind my teeth unintentionally all the time and it seems to make it worse. I eat Exedrin like candy. It seems to be the only thing to help. I still have all my wisdom teeth and I was wondering if they can cause jaw pain and throbbing headaches without pain in the teeth themselves. :confused:

    the only way to tell is to get an x-ray.

    it can be other things as well. It can be from you grinding your teeth. You can buy a night guard at a major pharmacy like cvs or rite aid.
    it can be a sinus infection as well... or even worse yet brain tumor. So unless you get off your butt and the computer you will never know.

    If you keep popping excedrin you are looking for major liver and kidney damage...

    Sounds like TMJ problems given the locations of your pain. Grinding your teeth worsens the problem. Definitely get in to see your dentist. You may be able to fix the problem with a night guard that will prevent the grinding. Otherwise, surgery may be an option.

    Regardless, you want to get in to see your dentist so that you don't wear down the surfaces of your teeth from the grinding!

    Listen to nikosmom. It sounds like you are in need of a night guard. Make sure you get a night guard made specifically for you, please do not purchase the kind they are selling in the drug stores in the states.
