Sure...it Could: Usually, it does not cause much bother though. But, if you have severely impacted wisdom teeth that are completely unerupted, it will be a bit more difficult to ext them. Most normally, the vast majority of my patients who have wisdom teeth taken out, complain of soreness, not pain, for 2-3 days at a level of about 1-3, on a scale of 0-10 with 10 being worst pain possible.

Manageable: During the procedure the discomfort is managed by medications including anesthetics, making the work manageable for you and easier for the surgeon. After the surgery follow your oral surgeon's post-procedure instructions to the letter and again the discomfort will be manageable. One tip, make sure your mouth is healthy and clean before the surgery.

Yes: Any surgical procedure may involve some level of discomfort or pain, which may vary from patient to patient depending upon their pain tolerance. Removal of wisdom teeth can be performed comfortably and safely. A preoperative consultation with your surgeon can help you decide how you wish to have the procedure performed.
