Whether or not an elderly person can have their wisdom teeth extracted has to do with whether or not they can physically tolerate the extraction, and if they can, they can be extracted. If they cannot tolerate it, it is not recommended. The details are as follows: If the elderly patient has a better physical foundation or even if they have diabetes or high blood pressure but it is well controlled and they have improperly or poorly cleaned wisdom teeth, they can have their wisdom teeth extracted to avoid increasing the patient’s chances of infection due to the presence of the wisdom teeth. If an elderly patient has a serious underlying disease that is not effectively controlled, extraction is risky and it is recommended that the underlying disease be controlled before extraction. To summarize, whether or not an elderly person can have their wisdom teeth removed depends on the situation.
