When asked whether a wisdom tooth can have a headache, any dentist will answer in the affirmative.
The third molar got its name because of the late dates of its appearance. In many people, such teeth do not form at all, and in those who have grown, eruption is very similar to the sensation of growing milk teeth in newborns. The peculiarity of the appearance of the considered molars in humans is that they grow without a conductive channel, which usually leaves a milk tooth in the gum. Also a distinctive feature is that the molar can grow in several stages and very slowly. This is influenced by human immunity or some stressful situations in the body.
For each person, most of the systems affect each other. This applies especially to those organs that are located in the head. Painful sensations emanating from a wisdom tooth are often reflected and repeated in the head.
Pain is always a warning, signaling some kind of malfunction in the body.It is the wisdom tooth, the so-called third molar, or figure eight, that does not cause pain localization in any particular part of the head. Discomfort can manifest itself in the area of the temples, and in the frontal or occipital part. Dentists with experience in the type and location of severity and pain in the head can accurately determine which tooth is inflamed and painful. For example, the roots give off a cut in the crown and back of the head, unhealthy canines cause severe pain in the temples, caries or inflammation of the incisors give off a throbbing pain in the frontal part of the head.
And only eights are characterized by vague sensations, which are often manifested even in the ears, throat and chest.

Causes of migraine
Tooth pain is considered one of the most unbearable and exhausting. It completely distracts a person from work and other affairs, captures and does not let go, makes him immediately turn to the dentist for help.
This discomfort is due to the huge number of pain receptors located on the enamel and dentin of the tooth. For example: 1 cm² of human skin contains about 200 receptors, which, if the integrity is damaged, can cause pain, and for 1 cm² of enamel and dentin, their number reaches 75 thousand. Therefore, any inflammation or violation of the integrity of the tooth always ends with the appearance of cramps.
Eight is a completely normal tooth that has a similar structure to the rest of the multi-rooted molars. It often happens that the human jaw does not have enough space for the normal location of the figure eight in the dentition. Therefore, often the roots of the third molar have a curved shape and are located above, and sometimes close to the adjacent teeth. It is this circumstance that explains the indefinite migraine.
Pain symptoms
The eighth teeth can cause complications in the form of a headache during all periods of their existence.
At the teething stage. Almost always, the headache occurs only at this stage. But since the appearance of the third molar takes quite a long time, you need to be patient and analgesic. When the figure eight grows (in the case of normal growth), the pain will stop. When cutting a wisdom tooth, the tissue near the tooth, the so-called hood, often hurts and becomes inflamed. This is due to the fact that a very favorable environment for the multiplication of bacteria and pathogens is formed under the skin, which is guaranteed to lead to purulent inflammation. The painful sensations are strong and are projected into the ear and temple. Also, pain can appear during yawning and swallowing:
- With the development of caries in the wisdom tooth. Due to the inaccessibility of the location, oral hygiene is difficult, the eighth tooth often erupts with unhealthy enamel, or damage quickly occurs later.
- Due to the crowding of the dentition and pressure from the adjacent seventh tooth, the growth of the third molar is accompanied by pain that radiates to the head. Even if the external manifestations of the problem are not visible, the dentist always recommends taking a picture of the tooth. This will let you know if the tooth is growing properly or if it needs to be removed.
Some relief for a short period can be obtained by taking pain relievers and thermal treatments.
But at the same time, it should be remembered that dentists categorically do not recommend warming the area of the third molar on their own, without a diagnosis. If the patient has problems with inflammation and infections, any warming procedures will lead to an even greater increase in suppuration.
Ailment after tooth extraction
Since the extraction of any tooth is a surgical operation, it is often accompanied by a headache. During this procedure, bone tissue, gums and oral mucosa are injured. This is especially true for the removal of a wisdom tooth: the procedure is accompanied by the rupture of a large number of nerve endings, which completely penetrate the entire human oral cavity. If the painful sensations as a result of the removal of the figure eight are strongly given to the head, then after agreement with the dentist, you can rinse the oral mucosa:
- decoctions of pharmacy chamomile:
- propolis or honey;
- calendula;
- soda solution.
Useful information
The eighth teeth are to some extent a rudiment, because they do not carry any benefit and practically do not participate in human life. They are located in a place of limited access, do not participate in chewing food, in most cases they grow abnormally and cause severe headache. Therefore, in dental practice, doctors often recommend removing wisdom teeth, even if they are not yet problematic. This is a precautionary measure, because these molars most often cause the appearance of inflammatory foci in the oral cavity.
