Wisdome teeth surgery and oral piercing?

Need to be removed: Any time you have surgery inside your mouth, or oral surgery, such as having your wisdom teeth removed, any and all oral piercing devices should be removed.. They may interfere with the surgery, and will certainly be more likely to cause soft tissue damage or prolong healing after surgery. In general, oral piercings are always a bad idea, sorry to say. They cause much damage to oral tissues.

What is your questio: Wisdom teeth surgery should not be a problem. Oral piercing - if you are having it done- stay away from metal piercings - they cause a lot of damage. If you have a piercing - depending on the type and location - it may or may not interfere with the extractions.

Think !: If you puncture your healthy body and place a foreign object into the opening and expect mother nature to form a perfect protective seal around your invasion then go and have your wisdom teeth out which probably is a very wise choice, you realize that all the normal bacteria in your mouth have the possibility to enter the blood stream. Why add insult to injury.?
