Hi
In regard to your query, as such it is a myth that tooth ache leads to ear pain and eye pain how ever 0.1% chances are there for a tooth ache to result in so mentioned ear or eye ache due to irregular or un expected course of nerve supply. coming to your problem you had mentioned you have wisdom tooth in the lower jaw. so this is no way related in causing ear pain. there might be some other reason like presence of wax in the ear or unintentional entry of water into the ear or any other. i would suggest you to visit your ENT specialist for further treatment regarding your wisdom tooth status you can visit your oral surgeon. hope this helps you.
