Are there really too many side effects after wisdom tooth extraction?

Introduction
If the wisdom tooth is abnormally positioned, has multiple roots, or is in close proximity to nerves and blood vessels, extraction becomes more difficult and may increase the risks of bleeding, nerve damage, infection, and other complications. If a patient's overall health is poor and healing capacity is compromised, post-extraction infections and delayed healing are more likely to occur. Failure to follow medical instructions may also affect treatment outcomes, potentially leading to complications such as dry socket or infection.

Under normal circumstances, if a patient's wisdom teeth are abnormally positioned, certain complications may occur; however, if the wisdom teeth are in a normal position, complications generally do not arise. If discomfort symptoms appear, it is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation and treatment at a正规 hospital. Specific analysis is as follows:

1. Abnormal wisdom tooth position: Wisdom teeth that are malpositioned, multi-rooted, or closely adjacent to nerves and blood vessels can be difficult to extract, potentially increasing risks such as bleeding, nerve damage, and infection. If the individual has underlying health conditions such as diabetes or immune system disorders, their healing capacity may be reduced, making post-extraction infections and delayed healing more likely. Failure to follow medical advice may also affect recovery outcomes, possibly leading to complications such as dry socket or infection.

2. Normal wisdom tooth position: If the depth of the wisdom tooth and its position relative to neighboring teeth are favorable, without obstruction, and if proper preoperative assessment is conducted by an experienced and skilled surgeon using standardized techniques, along with strict postoperative care by the patient, healing is usually good and significant complications generally do not occur.

Patients should maintain healthy lifestyle habits and a scientifically balanced diet in daily life, actively optimizing their physical condition to ensure optimal treatment outcomes.
