Accepted Answer

Technically yes: If any tooth is severely decayed, an abscess can develop. The bacteria can spread rapidly and enter your bloodstream, spreading to other parts of your body.

Wisdom teeth: There should be absolutely no pain during the removal of wisdom teeth. You will be completely numb and may also elect to receive IV sedation.

Discuss your specific situation with an oral surgeon.

It can vary: After having wisdom teeth removed, you should start off with a soft diet and advance to solid foods as you can tolerate.

Some patients may fee they can only tolerate soft foods for the first week, while other patients resume their regular diet immediately following surgery.

Question 7

Not necessarily: You don't have to have dentures. You may want them for appearance and to allow a full range diet. If you are ok with the old grandpa look and enjoy soft foods...Then you can let it ride.

Question 8

will  removing wisdom teeth help my crowded teeth?

Accepted Answer

No: In almost most cases, removing wisdom teeth will not un-crowd your existing teeth in any way or to any significant extent.  However, the orthodontist might suggest having your wisdom teeth removed as part of the total treatment plan.  Other teeth sometimes have to be removed in order to make enough room in order to unravel the bite.

Accepted Answer

Depends: Everyone reacts differently to wisdom tooth extractions.  This depends on the difficulty of the extraction, the skill of the dentist or oral surgeon,  your immune system and how you individually handle things.  The oral surgeon can answer the first parts.
 But expect there to be some pain for several days.  You will be given the appropriate medication to help healing.
