Is it possible for wisdom teeth to press on nerves and give you neck pain?

Question:

Answers:
Yes, its called 'Refered Pain'... Your nerves in your lower jaw, run upward into your face and TMJ, which is the 'Temporal Mandibular Joint'. Located below your ears. Your head and neck are connected of course, so hense why it can cause sever pain through out your neck and head area. Its very common to have this referring pain.

My suggestion go to see a dentist and get them out. If you dentist is comfortable about extracting them, he/she will do so. If not, then they'll refer you to an 'Oral Surgeon'. This is there Speciality. They can either remove them with everyday numbing meds like Lidocaine or they can put you to sleep by IV sedation.

Good Luck...

Yes, and head pain too. Good luck.
