Wisdom teeth and Nerve issue
I have pain in my both Right side upper and lower jaw, cheek, ear, back of the jaw, neck and sometimes near the eye. I consulted a ENT doctor and they said its a GERD issue. And I consulted a dentist and done a X ray which diagnosed as impacted wisdom teeth. And I removed my right side upper wisdom teeth. And the dentist told not to remove the lower wisdom teeth since it will cause nerve damage. And the all above pain is due to some other issue. And I have done CT PNS and consulted a ENT doctor. And the ENT doctor said there is no issue in CT PNS report.Then I visted to my dentist again for consultation and he said to check with any other general physician for another consultation.
And I am clueless now.
Whether the pain is due to Sinus issue or inpacted wisdom teeth. If the issue is due to impacted wisdom, whether I should remove it or not. For the last 2 weeks,the pain is unbearable. I will attach the both CT report and Teeth X ray for reference. Kindly suggest me a proper approach.

Since CT PNS and xray not giving clear answers, next step is to get a 3D CBCT scan and consult a oral maxillofacial surgeon. They can guide you whether safe removal is possible or if any other cause like TMJ or nerve pain is responsible.
