Can wisdom teeth growing from a sinus cavity be fatal
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not likely: Generally, wisdom teeth growing around or into the sinuses cause few problems, and they definitely won't kill you ... Unless they become infected. But any infection left untreated can be dangerous. If it concerns you, be proactive and have your wisdom tooth/teeth removed.

Yes: Impacted wisdom teeth may get infected, cystic, or even grow tumors. Consult an oral surgeon about your treatment options and risks.
