WHAT ARE SOME COMPLICATIONS OF WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL? 020 7229 4627 07885532883 Book Online

Rarely there might be issues occurring after wisdom teeth extraction. These might include:

  1. Infection around the area where your wisdom tooth was removed.
  2. Accidental damage to teeth close to that area.
  3. Dry socket – when a blood cloth covering the wound comes off and exposes bone and nerves underneath. This can cause some pain and bad breath.
  4. Damage to nerves, which can cause pain, tingling, pins and needles and numbness.
  5. A broken jaw, although this is very rare.

Most patients do not experience any complications after wisdom teeth removal. If you experience any of the mentioned symptoms, you should talk to your dentist.
