Can cramped teeth from wisdom cause Migraines and Head Pressure?
by Hialean, Jan 23, 2006 12:00AM
I think my Migraines and Head pressure is coming from my cramped teeth. They are cramped due to my crooked wisdom teeth that are pressing hard againsed my teeth. The thing is I have always had a ringing in my ears from a very long time ago. I was very young and I think the ringing comes from stress. Pain insuces stress as well as head pressure. So when my wisdom finally started to emerge a little over a year ago the ringing in my ear started to get worse. The pressure really started to hit me around a few months ago and now its tough to sleep with all the head pain and the large amounts of ringing I get especially from laying down. I fet fatigued easily in work. My main question is this. Are my teeth causing my ringing and my head pressure? Or could it be something else such as a ear infection? The soreness is mainly present along the sides of my head in the "gaps" in the skull in front of my ears. My ears do hurt at times and sometimes the pain can eminate throughout the sides of the neck just under the ears. Also pressing or "massaging the tense muscles to relieve the pressure in the "gaps" causes my back lower teeth (the crooked wisdome teeth) to become painful and it feels like im pressing them together even harder. Is going to an ear doctor first a bad idea?

I have nothing against you seeing the ENT doctor, but I would also seriously suggest seeing a dentist who specializes in TMJ dysfunction. And I do mean specializes.
