Risk: The only ways that wisdom teeth can affect the nerves in your body are: 1) rarely with infection of wisdom teeth, temporary numbness in the area occurs and 2) there is a small risk of nerve damage with removal of wisdom teeth. For best results, see a board certified oral surgeon for exam/recommendations.
