Could Eruption Of Wisdom Tooth Cause Tensed Jaws And Blurry Vision?

Hi, I am having a tension in my jaws and my vision is kind of blurred. I am 21 years old and never experienced this Wisdom teeth coming out before in my life. Could it be that my W-teeth are now coming out?? Could they also affect concentration and memory ??

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can very well understand your concern..

As per your complain tension in jaws can occur when the wisdom tooth is going to erupt as it can either put pressure on jaw and the adjacent molar to make space for erupting.
Inflammation of gum flap over the wisdom tooth when tooth is about to tear the flap to come out can cause soreness and tense feeling in jaws..
In case of Pericoronitis also that is inflammation of gum flap over wisdom tooth due to infection can also cause similar feeling..

BUT blurring of vision or loss of memory and concentration is not at all related to wisdom tooth,although pain in eye and temple region can occur but not blurring vision..

I would suggest you to consult an Oral Surgeon and get evaluated by getting an x Ray done and if the tooth is erupting well you can simply take painkiller in case of pain while muscle relaxant can help in case of tense jaw..
If there is Pericoronitis antibiotics, painkillers and saline gargles can help..
If the wisdom tooth is deviated to some other direction rather than its erupting path extraction has to be done..

Hope this information helps and thanks for writing to Healthcare Magic..

Thanks and regards..
