Does Wisdom Tooth Decay Cause Jaw Pain,dizziness And Ear Pain?

Occasional jaw pain, spots in left eye, right ear feels infected, occasional dizziness, lightheaded easily, sensitive to light and heat, lack of concentration, difficulty hearing, constant stuffy nose, fatigue, kind of feels like my equillibrium is off... A doctor told me that I had what looked like a slight ear infection in my one ear, took antibiotics but didn't help.. 5 years ago a dentist told me I needed my wisdom teeth removed due to impaction. But now they are decaying deep and also impacted. I've had these symptoms for 2 years now. At first they were really bad but the dizziness doesn't happen anymore. Could my wisdom teeth be causing all these symptoms? They spots in the eye are on the same side as one of the wisdom teeth that broke in half. The side with the ear pain is where most of the jaw pain comes from.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain due to decayed wisdom tooth you can experience pain in jaw ,ear ,eye , throat etc and there can be some fatigue, dizziness and feverish feeling also if infection goes into blood causing Septicemia..
But the symptoms of spots in eye, loss of balance, stuffy nose and difficulty in hearing are not due to wisdom tooth and it seems definitely related to some disorders of ear and you need to consult an OTOLARYNGOLOGIST or an ENT surgeon for a complete evaluation and treatment can be planned only after confirmation of the cause..
The spots in eyes has to be evaluated by an Ophthalmologist..
For wisdom tooth decay extraction of the same by an Oral Surgeon followed by antibiotics and painkillers will help..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
