A member asked:
Will an impacted wisdom tooth produce inflammation of the parotid gland?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not usually.: You woudd have to have a major facial infection from the tooth to involve the parotid. Most if not all wisdom tooth problems are localized.

No: No. Unrelated anatomically. For best evaluation and treatment, have your wisdom teeth managed by a board certified oral surgeon
