Wisdom Tooth
Just want to undestand can wisdom Tooth impacts cause pressure on nerves and sensations on one side of face, nose and back of the ear and head & eye heaviness.
I am having such kind of situation. Left Wisdom tooth has slight swelling and pain. Had a heavy pain 6months back, then doctor gave medicine to supress the same(due to corona). After that I also had upper back and neck pain two months later.
What I find the left side of mine is only impacted. In the upper back pain, throasic heaviness, I have facial sensation on the left side and swelling in the tooth too. The left side jawline also has sensation sometimes.
Can anyone pls suggest what should I do? As I am suffering from upper back pain and nerve issue since October. Along with this facial sensation and jawline stress and eye heaviness.
Please suggest.

Yes impacted teeth may cause such pain and sensation.
Visit MDS oral and maxillofacial surgeon for clinical examination and get a 3D CBCT scan done.
For back pain do back strengthening exercises for at least 6-8 months after proper consultation with orthopedic doctor.
For thoracic heaviness visit a physician.
Problems may be interlinked to some extent or maybe different also.
Go stepwise... Begin with wisdom tooth treatment followed by other doctors if required.

Yes , impacted tooth may cause pressure on the nerve. You should consult an oral surgeon or an oral medicine and radiology expert and go through a scan (cbct). Depending on the scan the doctor will guide you further whether any other opinion such as neuro or Ortho is required.
