If Wisdom Tooth Not Removed Can Lead To Joints And Muscle Pains?

I have been dealing with inexplicable joint and musculoskeletal pain on and off for 5 years. My wisdom teeth wre never removed and now my jaw aches constantly. Is is possible that the failure to have my wisdom teeth removed may be an underlying cause to my other chronic pain?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain and presentation of symptoms such a chronic joint and muscular pain is not seen in case of problems related to wisdom tooth and in case if your wisdom tooth has not caused any pain symptoms then although it was not extracted it will not cause symptoms like joint and muscle pain..

The most common cause of muscle and joint pain which is chronic in nature is FIBROMYALGIA and it leads to pain in muscles and other soft tissues and mostly it is of unexplained origin..

The jaw and facial tenderness can also be due to it and not associated with wisdom tooth..

You should consult a Rheumatologist and get evaluated and get treated according to the cause..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
