What are the risk and complications of the surgery for removal of wisdom teeth?
If you are operated under general anesthesia, the anesthesia & its risk & complications are the same as with general anesthesia for any other operation. Risk and complications of the surgery are not frequent occurrences but one must be aware of them. These includes wound infection , inability to open the mouth, prolonged numbness of the side particularly the lip 7 fracture of the jaw. Your dentist/oral surgeon will explain and attend to these.
