Yes, it’s not unheard of for people with wisdom tooth pain to also experience headaches. Since there is soreness and swelling, it may radiate well into your TMJ and temples, making it appear as if you have a headache. If you’re in so much pain that you clench your teeth tightly together (bruxism), the muscle tension surrounding your jaws can pull at your face and scalp, also causing headaches.
Nausea isn’t common with wisdom tooth development, but it is one of the side effects following oral surgery with sedation. If you’re scheduled to have your wisdom teeth extracted with general anesthesia, you may need to watch what you eat for a day or two. Some people are sensitive to the medication and experience nausea and vomiting as a side-effect. It’s also common for fluids to drip down your throat and into your stomach, leading to nausea during your recovery.
If you’re experiencing chronic headaches and suspect you have wisdom teeth coming in, it’s best to go ahead and have the area examined by a dentist to rule out any complications.
