Yes they can but it can also be from infection present from another back tooth (molar). If it is in the top, it can also be from sinus infection. To determine the cause of the jaw aching, you should see a dentist. It can also be related to the TMJ muscle from clenching/grinding. Your dentist will evaluate all of these things for you to find out what the problem is. |

Definatley. Wisdom teeth can crowd your mouth. Get them removed and it should feel better. Most people get them removed anyway. |

Yes they can, sometimes wisdom teeth become impacted and get infected, causing an awful lot of pain, please see the dentist as soon as possible, good luck. |

Yes if you have never had them removed they can start to hurt you at anytime in your life. Go see your dentist because the roots may have become infected and they will have to be removed and you will get put on antibiotics. |

If the tooth is impacted, yes. My gums feel tender once in a while as another part of the tooth breaks through the gum. I never had jaw pain due to a wisdom tooth. |
