Wisdom Teeth Removal Complications
What are the risks of an operation to remove impacted wisdom teeth?
The information presented on this site is of personal opinion and consequently is slanted and biased and not based on proper scientific research. The information presented is NOT written by a dental expert. Further the information presented has NOT been subjected to peer review by experts to verify accuracy and data integrity.
All operations have risks, and the surgeon performing the surgery should discuss some things that could go wrong. It is important to remember that the standard of care (in the U.S.) is not to go through all of the possible side effects and complications that can occur.
Some of these complications below are common whereas others are quite rare and some dentists and oral surgeons may not even know they have occured after wisdom teeth removal. The incidence or amount of time one would expect a complication to occur is not well known for many of these complications. Do not be misled to believe that all of these complications can occur with any sort of equal probability. A few of these complications occur much more frequently than others.
It’s hard to say exactly how often problems happen with surgery to remove wisdom teeth. About 1 in 10 people get problems during or after an operation to take out their wisdom teeth. These problems aren’t always serious or permanent. More serious problems may occur for those older than 25 and/or have deeply impacted wisdom teeth.
If you are looking to minimize risks please discuss your medical history with your physician, dentist, and surgeon and postpone (as in delay) any potential scheduled extraction(s) if you have any severe upper respiratory symptoms such as cough and cold. You may also consider 3-D cone imaging.
This page is not for for the faint of heart so please do not read any further. No discussion below is made of those who have succesfully had any wisdom tooth extracted with no complications and problems. Many complications that can potentially occur are the result of unfortunate mistakes without intent to harm. In very rare instances deliberate intentional harm can occur which is not a complication but still an unfortunate risk and discussed below.
If you have a problematic wisdom tooth or wisdom teeth you should seek medical treatment and NOT continue reading.
Millions of people have succesfully had wisdom teeth removed without problems. Many of the complications below are highly unusual and extremely rare. In addition a few of the case descriptions described did not occur in the U.S. Further some of the complications occured many many years ago and would clearly not be representative of the care one would reasonably expect to receive today.
Now without further ado here are the wisdom teeth removal complications:
1. Swelling, Discoloration, Pain, Malaise, Bruising, and/or Discomfort
It is of course possible to develop soreness, pain, malaise (feeling out of it), swelling (edema), discoloration, and/or discomfort after wisdom teeth removal. This can occur at the post extraction socket, any injection sites, in your face, and/or jaws which would require you to take it easy and rest at home for several days. Swelling caused by teeth removal is quite normal and usually will reach its maximum 48 to 72 hours after surgery. Swelling occuring more than three days after surgery may indicate infection. Pain, swelling, trismus and general malaise occur in about 50% of all patients who have a wisdom tooth extracted within the first few days. Discoloration of your face may appear black and blue and then change to a yellowish color after a few days. [105, 122, 153]
If any intravenous medication was used inflammation, stiffness, bruising (ecchymosis), and/or soreness could develop along the vein which may temporarily limit the full use of the arm where the injection occured. In rare instances this could cause long term discomfort and/or disability. [122]
