TMJ and wisdom teeth problems!

a few months ago all four of my wisdom teeth began to break through my gums, also my right lower jaw popped horribly loud one day and there has been pretty bad pain ever since, I'm going to see a dentist as soon as I get insurance from my new job but my question is could either of these be causing the palinopsia and strange visual symptoms I've been having like after images and trails behind moving objects and an increasing sensitivity to light, all of this started at the same time, I had my eyes checked and I have perfect vision, could my symptoms be from either TMJ or incoming wisdom teeth?

Wisdom teeth probably have nothing to do with palinopsia.There is a condition known as migraine with aura. One of the aura symptoms is photopsia,scotoma,or teichopsia,which is not exactly what you are afflicted. Seeing a neurologist, tmj specialist is advised.
