Yes when they get infected the entire side of your head can hurt. See your dentist and/or MD to rule out anything else that could be going on.
Yes but remember other causes can also.
If a wisdom tooth is impacted or fails to erupt correctly brushing and flossing can prove to be difficult.If food and bacteria get caught between the teeth, tooth decay and infection may occur. some impacted teeth cause no pain or problems, most common symptoms of an infected impacted wisdom tooth are bad breath, earache, sore throat, difficulty opening jaw fully and swollen gum.
Yes, it can.
