Possible Complications after Wisdom Tooth Removal
Millions of people have their wisdom teeth extracted every year and the procedure usually goes very smoothly. However, wisdom tooth extraction is a surgical procedure and, as such, there can be complications in a few cases.
Most complications are relatively minor and can usually be treated by your dentist. The most common dental problems following the extraction include:
– Dry socket
– Gum infection
– Bleeding gums
These problems can usually be easily cured but, in very rare cases, a “difficult extraction can cause the (underlying) nerve to be damaged” and this will require special attention.
