Patient: Doctor: Hello! I am from Shanghai. in April, I often felt difficulty in swallowing and had frequent attacks of throat, tonsillitis and tinnitus, etc. I finally found out that it was due to wisdom teeth. I was diagnosed by a secondary hospital with two wisdom teeth in my lower jaw buried horizontally under the alveolar bone, and had to go to Shanghai Jiuyuan Hospital for treatment. Today, the wisdom teeth were diagnosed by a specialist at the Ninth Hospital, and it was very difficult to extract them! The nerves will definitely be damaged. I am a teacher and I am worried that it will not affect my speech. Can you tell me how difficult it is? Doctor: According to the film, the two wisdom teeth are buried very deep, almost sleeping on top of the sensory nerve below. Please note that it is the sensory nerve. There is a misconception here that people think that nerve injury will paralyze. Only the sensory nerve is injured by wisdom tooth extraction, and only a very small number of people who cannot recover end up with numbness and no sensation in the penny-sized area of skin under the lower lip, and in such a very small number of people we follow up, they all adapt completely after several years. Because speech and chewing are not affected in any way. So, whether you are in the top hospitals in China like Shanghai Jiu Hospital and Peking University Dental Clinic or with us, as long as you remove your concerns and accept the possible facts mentioned above, the doctors will try to avoid it, but of course there is no 100%. The film looks like your difficulty in bone resistance, in addition to the deep encapsulation, on this age has begun to appear bone adhesions, increasing the chances of surgical injury to the nerve. You are so detailed, even more so than the specialists at the Ninth Hospital. The entire month of April was spent in discomfort, and your answers have helped to ease my doubts and prepare me mentally, so thank you very much! Doctor: You are welcome. If you experience numbness after surgery, you can vitamin b12 (Micronutrients) vitamin b1 orally for at least half a month, which can help the nerves recover.
