Here's the deal, I have migraine headaches on a fairly regular basis. Usually have a migraine once every other month or so. Until recently. I've had 4 migraines in the past 6 days and needless to say, it's been a miserable week. I also believe a wisdom tooth is coming in due to some irritation in my gums and when I rub my tongue against the area, I detect a slight taste of blood. So my question is, has anyone here experienced migraines as a side effect of wisdom tooth eruption?

Had mine removed during my spring break. The painkillers they give you are fun.

I never thought the painkillers did much. They just made me tired. Though the muscle relaxer that they gave me to take before the surgery was awesome.

Wisdom Teeth staying in is usually never a good idea. You need to find a good oral surgeon, have him put you under the happy gas and you'll wake up with them problem teeth yanked out. Enjoy the painkillers, mashed potatoes and jello after.

Do not get them removed at a dentist. It's like a psychiatrist removing a tumor from your brain when a neurosurgeon should be doing that. And they both deal with the brain.

Rip those bad boys out. You'll be doped up on vicodin after it for a few days so don't worry.

What Sentrius said. Find a good oral surgeon, and the shite is over with before you even know what's happening. Literally nothing was painful during the process.

I've had all four of mine for the last 10 years or so

I had about a week of alignment issues in 2008 because the skin covering one stayed when the tooth lifted. Caused a headache. Soon as it disappeared, all was well.

There may be a chamce that TMJ issues are causing your migraines. You should have that evaluated to rule it out as a cause as well. Dentists are more than qualified to remove CERTAIN wisdom teeth. Many wisdom teeth, especially uppers, have very small cone-shaped roots that roll right out. They can be, in fact, some of the easiest teeth to remove. However, for wisdom teeth that require considerable surgical intervention, an oral surgeon and sedation will make the process much easier. Nothing I hate more than dentists who try to handle cases that are over their head.

Of course, that's where experience comes in. Nothing like thinking the wizzy is going to be simple but find out otherwise in the middle of a procedure.
CBT must really help but I won't be getting one anytime soon.

If you get them out, make sure to follow the surgeons advice very carefully on taking care of the wounds. You DO NOT want a dry socket.

I think it's fairly uncommon, but I'm 27 and have never grown my wisdom teeth
