Avatar n tn Do wisdom teeth effect the inner ear?
Avatar m tn I am 34 and have a ton of crowding in my bottom teeth. I was unable to have my lower wisdom teeth removed 5 years ago because of the risk of oral nerve damage. I was told that I had a 99% chance of having permanent nerve damage so they would only remove the uppers which I had done.
Avatar m tn t say for sure whether or not it was necessary because its a judgement call from the doctor on how comfortable he feels reading the 2D picture and being able to remove the wisdom teeth. There is a risk of nerve damage from wisdom teeth extractions.
Avatar n tn in addition to the above.... the molars in front of the wisdom teeht are used as "fulcrums" by the surgeon in remvinf wisdom teeth, they are pushed on in order to elevates the wisdom teeth out of their sockets....this is very traumatic and can take a while to heal.
Avatar m tn Sometimes when removing wisdom teeth the nerve can be slightly "bruised", causing temporary numbness/tingling. Most cases resolve in a couple weeks. Depending on the location of the wisdom teeth prior to extraction, in some cases paitents are permanently numb. Prior to extraction the dentist should have evaluated the proximity to the nerve, and avoided the extraction if that was the case. Having a partially numb or tingley lip is better than a completely numb lip.

Avatar m tn I agree with Gellila. When I had my wisdome teeth out I had one that was very close to the nerve (looking via xray) and so I had a couple options, I chose for it to still be removed knowing if he accidentally nicked the nerve I would have some numbing in my lower right jaw/face (lip and chin) and that's what happened. It did get better in time though - the numbness I felt a few days post removal is worse than it was a few months later.
Avatar f tn I just had my 4 impacted wisdom teeth pulled a week ago and ever since the surgery I have had numbness in my lower lip on the left side. Also, my front teeth on the bottom left feel like they are numb/loose. Is this common? I figured that a nerve was bruised but how long does it normally take on average for a nerve to heal? Will this be permanent? Thank you for any feedback or past experiences posted.
Avatar n tn This is likely to be temporary as the wisdom teeth can develop close to the nerve that connects to all the lower teeth. While that area is healing the nerve can be irritated and thus giving you pain signals to other teeth in the lower jaw. You should have your surgeon/dentist check for any signs of delayed healing in the sockets and or infection.
Avatar f tn I think the problem is with your wisdom teeth. The wisdom teeth might be pushing all of your teeth in due to its growing sideways. This is causing a block and nerve damage. This ight has caused you a feel of sensitivity. Get your wisdom teeth removed.
Avatar n tn For all of you out there searching the web for answers..... I had my wisdom teeth removed 3 years ago. About 3 days after the surgery I knew something wasn't right. My entire mouth was dead numb. I couldn't talk right or chew food without my tongue getting in the way.
Avatar m tn The dentist told me before I had surgery that on of my wisdom teeth was close to a nerve and he would have to be very careful. When I woke up from surgery he said he didn't see the nerve and though he had to work to get that tooth out because it came apart, all went smoothly. I have not been able to feel my chin or my lower lip since the surgery. The dentist says wait it out.

Avatar f tn I've been having pain due to my wisdom teeth for the last couple of days. Have any of you gotten your wisdom teeth removed while pregnant? Ive heard the dentist can only do it if its an emergency and in about your second trimester. Im 18 weeks right now. And i wanted to see if any have gotten this done.
Avatar n tn My rear wisdom teeth came through fine (im 21) thanks to braces earlier in my dental career. One wisdom tooth came in at 45 Degrees, pressing into my molars. Today when i picked at this tooth it came arat, almost a quarter of the inside of the tooth broke apart. The outside edge remained intact with just the center section coming out. The piece removed was very soft and almost crumbled under pressure. The part that interests me about everything is the complete lack of pain or odor.
Avatar f tn hi everyone i posted about a monthe ago complaining of my tooth pain i keep getting this pain on the right side upper and lower feels like the nerve roots of my teeth it is very painful. anyways i did post about this awhile back. saw the dentist today he did a very thorough exam and xrays he cannot find anything wrong with my teeth , no cavities no problems he reassured me that there is nothing wrong with my teeth he did xrays as well but can not find anything wrong.
Avatar f tn Hi, most people have the wisdom teeth removed as tend to cram other teeth as we age. Not a big deal as you can have all 4 taken out at the same setting.
Avatar m tn I want to know why is it necessary to remove wisdom teeth? What are positives except that removing wisdom teeth will not affect other teeth lining and may prevent chances of infection around wisdom teeth? What are negative sides? I am tired of this procedure or that procedure and going to here and there, and now this. I don’t want to complain but I am already struggling with poor general health, stress, anxiety and insomnia and my GP is no help.
Avatar n tn I had 2 wisdom teeth extracted on nov 20th. Number 1 was taken to save the tooth next to it(recommended by my dentist-asap) The other one was recommended by the oral surgeon (to whom I was referred) Although there was no immediate problem, the doctor thought one might happen later - sometime.
Avatar m tn This can happen when there is inflammation of the joint, or the muscle associated with it called sternocleidomastoid. This can also occur due to problems of the teeth like impacted wisdom tooth. When you open or close your mouth or bite or chew you can either hear a grinding noise or can feel a sting or pain. It can also be due to trigeminal neuralgia due to pressure on the trigeminal nerve as comes near the surface on the face. It is difficult to comment beyond this without examination.
Avatar f tn Hi, My sister removed her wisdom teeth last one and half month back. Her half tongue had lost sensation and when she does more talking then her tongue gets heavy. Her doctor said she mihgt will take 6 months to recover. I am really worried, Will it be recovered..? Is there anyone who has same problem and who recovered or not recovered from this..? Please share some information with me..I am really panic...
Avatar n tn When they extract the wisdom teeth, they are pretty close to a facial nerve and facial muscles, so it can very well be a problem with the muscle being damaged/torn. Though the wholes where the teeth were are usually present for a long time and can become infected. I'd talk to the oral surgeon who did the extractions. Good luck.
Avatar n tn I have been experiencing minor pain on my left bottom wisdom tooth. Previously my dentinst performed a root canal on this tooth to save it. I only have this tooth and a crowned molar on this side. I went to the dentist for my 6 month cleaning and expressed my concern. He X-rayed this side and said there wasn't anything visable or no infection(7/5). While cleaning my teeth that wisdom tooth was experiencing pain that brought tears to my eyes. The dentist prescribed Tylenol 3.
Avatar n tn Hi, You wouldn't have implants to replace wisdom teeth. I had my four upper front teeth removed and had implants placed right after. I have been using a removable metal partial while the implants heal. I do feel that the partial was irritating the nerve in my lower jaw by hitting those teeth. My dentist made a small adjustment and the pain has greatly lessened. I still get a few little electric like jolts but nothing like before.

Avatar n tn The lower one are impacted to the point that the oral surg said there could be some nerve damage done when the teeth are extracted. what kind of problems orther than numbness would there be.
Avatar m tn why is this frontal teeth pain happening?. will numbness in lower left lip go away?. when i push those frontal teeth having pain with my tongue pain worsens. is the pain because of tooth shifting?. or did alveolar nerve got any damage while surgery?. please tell me.
