There is usually quite a bit of pain associated with wisdom teeth. You may feel pain in the back of your mouth or your jaw. It may feel like there is pressure or throbbing in the back of the mouth to others. Gums that are cut or swollen may also indicate wisdom teeth trying to break through.   Intense pain radiating toward your head, ears, or eyes is another sign of wisdom tooth pain. It is common for people to feel this type of pain when they have abscessed, or infected, wisdom teeth. It is possible, however, for this type of pain to be caused by tooth decay instead.   Wisdom tooth pain can cause headaches or earaches. Teeth struggle to enter the mouth. As a result, pressure builds up around other tissues and teeth. Therefore, you experience a lot of pain in your mouth and head.
