Is it possible to have a csf leak from a tooth extraction?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
I don't see how: I honestly don't see how the two can be related in any way whatsoever, nor have i even heard of this as a possibilty in over 40 years of dental practice.

No: Teeth are embedded in the maxilla and mandible where there is no csf. Mucous may leak from a maxillary extraction if an oroantral fistula exists.
