Headache at back of head - wisdom teeth?
've been having this really dull head-ache on and off for the last few weeks. It only lasts for 20 mins or so normally but it is recurring, some days I get it a few times, others just once. Its not sharp or stabbing pain, just pressure (I guess its more like a tension-headache) but it sometimes gets worse, wont shift and I take some ibuprofen tablets until it does. Often it goes without tablets though.
The pain seems to make my teeth feel a little bit numb, as if its going down to my molars at the top of my mouth. Both molars have exposed holes in them due to cracking (i do have fillings and the dentist just told me to 'brush carefully...) but I'm wondering whether thats got something to do with the headaches?
I can feel with my tongue that there is something trying to come through at the top back sides (particularly left) and although it doesn't feel that sore there in that location, my glands may be up a little (they're chronically flaring up though...) and i don't have much jaw pain fortunately, just the headcahes.
So could my wisdom teeth be causing these headaches? and maybe the damage to the other teeth?

1. unfortunately, it can be either of the two or both............if the wisdom tooth is coming in and pushing too hard on the other teeth....at the same time if there is already a lot of food trap due to a partially impacted wisdom tooth, resulting in a big cavity in the tooth in front of that.
Also, make sure you are not grinding your teeth in sleep....
