What could cause tooth ache, ear ache, and...

[m d]

...tingling on the side of my head? I still have my wisdom teeth, and twice now I've gotten tenderness right on the gum behind one of them. On that same side, I'd get an ear ache, and where my hair is above my ear, a tingling sensation, like when your foot falls alseep. Any ideas as to what that could be?Well, I haven't had any problems with the nasal area itself, just the the 3 areas I mentioned (gum behind wis. tooth, ear, and side of head). One poster mentioned the facial nerves; could a wisdom tooth be affecting a nerve that runs through the rest of my head?I'm thinking about just getting them pulled anyways. I was holding out for a change in my benefits but now I'm a little more concerned with all these other things happening.Thanks for the answers. =)

That's how my sinus infections start out. I found that 2 Tylenol and a benadryl really help with the toothache and ear ache.

It could be a sinus infection. If you are having facial pain: just to the side of your nose where the maxillary bone is, tooth pain, lots of drainage from the nose, it may be sinus related. Tooth pain can also occur.-Also, if you are having problems with the tooth (remaining wisdom tooth) it may be impacting into a nerve, which runs along the side of our face and branches out like a tree: (the facial nerve).-there is also the possibility of an ear infection.--as you can see there are some more likely possibilities--which are above.Sinus probs more than 1 month- i prescribe my pts an antibiotic.However, if this is dental--go see your dentist--It may be wiser to go see your physician first and he/she will direct you further
