Will removal of impacted wisdom teeth relieve pressure in the TMJ joint? Will it help to control the TMJ disorder and Jaw popping and ear problems arising from it? Or there is no need to remove the wisdom teeth if they are not causing any pain?

Get an OPG X-ray done. No,removal of wisdom tooth generally do not solve TMJ disorders. But if wisdom tooth is causing you any pain or discomfort,then better to get it extracted.
Next Steps
Visit an oral and maxillofacial surgeon for the same.

Hi, If the wisdom tooth is causing discomfort in the TMJ, then it is advisable to remove the tooth. Please share an X-ray OPG to know the position of the wisdom tooth.
