Wisdom teeth are connected to the nerves, clinically, it means that the distance between the mandibular wisdom teeth and the mandibular nerve canal is very close, it can be extracted, but there will be a risk of numbness of the lower lip after extraction.
1. Due to the special anatomical position of mandibular wisdom teeth, the root tip is often connected to the mandibular nerve canal, and even the root tip enters into the mandibular nerve canal, which will cause a certain amount of risk when wisdom teeth are extracted. The risk is damage to the mandibular nerve, which may cause symptoms such as numbness of the lower lip on the same side.
2. It is generally recommended to take a CT film of the tooth before wisdom tooth extraction to clarify the specific positional relationship between it and the mandibular nerve canal and to weigh the pros and cons. Minimize the damage to the mandibular nerve canal during the extraction process.
Wisdom teeth are connected to the nerves, whether they can be removed or not, it is recommended to visit a regular hospital and be examined by a professional doctor.
