Potential Risks and Complications:

Like any surgical procedure, wisdom tooth removal carries some risks and potential complications. These may include:

• Dry socket: A painful condition that occurs when the blood clot that normally forms after extraction is dislodged or dissolves.
• Infection: If proper oral hygiene is not maintained, there is a risk of infection at the extraction site.
• Nerve damage: In rare cases, the nerves in the lower lip, tongue, or chin may be damaged during the extraction process.
• Damage to adjacent teeth: Wisdom tooth removal can cause damage to neighboring teeth, especially if the roots of the wisdom teeth are close to the adjacent teeth.
• Jaw stiffness: Some people may experience stiffness in the jaw muscles after the procedure, which usually resolves on its own.
