5%-7% seems like a big risk 😣
thank you doctor for your clear explanatory
I just had my top 2 removed today and was told that my roots were too close to my nerves on the left side (i didn’t bother to ask about the right side because it wasn’t recommended for removal but I should have and will when I go back for my follow up in a week). My dentist did mention Coronectomy being a possible option but couldn’t say what procedure would be best until I get a CT scan. She then referred me to a specialist to get it all figured out. In hindsight I remember when I had my left Molar extracted a few years ago the left side of my chin was numb for a few hours…I thought it was the anesthetics but I do remember kind of feeling uneasy about it since I hadn’t experienced that with other extractions on the lower right side but since I never heard of nerve damage risk until now I had no reason to freak out. So from what I gather my then Dentist failed to inform me of how close the tooth was to the nerve and just stormed the hell in there lol. I can find humor in it today but the reality is his disregard could’ve been costly for me, thank God it wasn’t. Also all the times I’ve been to the dentist (since 17 until now) never was I ever told that removing my wisdom teeth early could minimize risk in the future. They all said “do they bother you? If not leave em alone”. They said that about all 4 even though the tops were nowhere near any nerves. Well years later and 2 successfully removed here I am with all of you scared and learning from all those who came before us and those currently in the same place as us as well as all the Dr./Dentist that took the time to give us the info we may not get from an overworked surgeon during office hours. As I lay here with my head uncomfortably elevated with sutures in my mouth craving food I can’t eat with a slight headache, I’m thankful that we are all here getting the valuable information we need to make informed decisions moving forward. I’m praying that we all are blessed with caring surgeons with anointed hands. Lastly if you’ve recovered or not please share your experiences as well as updates negative or positive. We would love to know if you are still in recovery or has recovered. When we post we become apart of a community so please stay the corse because you’re story is extremely valuable to us and those that will join this community days to years later. God bless you all and I will update you guys so check back periodically. For now I have to wait until I get CT scans done. ❤️
It’s more common to hVe the damage be more extensive on the bottom, don’t lose hope! Go read my reply to your comment your face and neck will be swollen for awhile maybe two weeks. Or a week if you’re lucky I suffered from dry socket through so mine did last longer than normal. An so they mentioned the nerves was to close and went ahead an did the procedure anyway?
Excellent information. Wish i had a dentist like this one tell me instead of the one i had when i was younger who said it could or you can live rest of your life with no problem. 20 yrs later tooth had to come out because of infection causing nerve damage. Listen to the sound advice of this Dentist.
how long did the nerve damage last because they pull mine too and it hit a nerve 5 months ago and I'm still having that problem it's getting better but it's taking a long time to get back normal
@@rebeccawilkins479 i have nerve damage since march its been 5 months and nothing has changed
@@kaliehuggins6622 mine still the same since last October last year
@@kaliehuggins6622 what problems do you have
@@hinausmanali3247 it is worth asking how old these people are as the surgeon said the age determines the outcome of nerve damage and the healing process.
I was at the oral surgeons office and he told me everything but wanted me to choose. I chose to risk it and remove them all because nerve damage is scary but it’s not going to cause more problems later and the teeth were. I wish I had heard this guys take on it I would have saved myself some tears at the office
I had my wisdom tooth pulled 5 months ago and they hit a nerve and I'm still going through problem now is getting better it's just nerve-rackingI wish I would had gotten the pool when I was younger I'm 57 now
@@rebeccawilkins479hw is ur nerve injury now , has it improved or not?
@@rebeccawilkins479may i know if u've recovered? Thank you
I'm 34. My oral surgeon said the risk was only a 2% chance of any nerve damage at all, and of those people, the nerve damage would only be permanent in a portion. So, I decided to take the risk. I'm on day 11 of wisdom teeth surgery recovery, and the top of my tongue is still numb. It kind of feels like it's burnt. I hope it goes away. Now that I'm researching more, it seems like nerve damage is much more common than just 2%.
How are you feeling now? Would you be able to keep the comment updated? I’m 25 and have had braces twice. Going in the seconds time I was scheduled to get my wisdom teeth removed but once they got my x-rays they told me it was risky & said if there not bothering me I should just leave them. The problem is my teeth immediately shifted back after the second set of braces bc my wisdom teeth keep pushing them all forward and crowding. It’s turned my face a different shape and I can not stand to look in the mirror. Any time I go out all I could think about is how much I hate myself bc of my teeth and wanna get braces back on but don’t know if I’ll just cause more damage to my face in the process. Thank you for sharing, I hope and pray this goes away for you. If you feel comfortable I would love to know your opinion on if it’s worth it
@@vanessadavis5771 Hi, yes, I'd be happy to keep updating so anyone who reads this will know my experience. I'm on day 16 now, and the numbness in my tongue is a little better I think. I don't notice it as much, but it's definitely still a little numb. I hope that means it's getting better. My jaw is very stiff, and I can't open very wide. It also hurts to chew anything that's not soft, and one side of my jaw is popping when I yawn or try to open wide. I just had a follow up appt with my oral surgeon, and he said to apply heat and stretch my jaw. He thinks it will all go back to normal eventually and that the popping is due to the tightness on one side. However, because I have these issues, he wants to see me again in 2 weeks.
If I were you, I would go see an oral surgeon who does CT scans instead of x-rays. CT scans are a 3D image instead of 2D, and the oral surgeon will have a much better idea if the wisdom teeth can be removed safely. I read a study that said that 80% of wisdom teeth have issues and need to be removed at some point in life. They can get cavities even though they're below the gums because germs can still get in. The CT scan makes it easier to see if there are any cavities in these teeth. Wisdom teeth also sometimes get infected. If you wait until you're older like me and you end up really needing them removed for your health, your healing is delayed and the surgery can be a little more harmful. If the CT scan shows it's safe to remove them, I would advise to do it now. Also, by the time we turn 30, our bones reach peak bone mass, so it's best to do the surgery before then.
I've never had braces, so I can't relate to that. I'm so sorry you're having issues. I bet it doesn't look as bad as you think, though. Some things I'm reading say wisdom teeth don't affect the outcome of braces, so I'm wondering if maybe your teeth have shifted for some other reason, like maybe you needed a retainer? However, a few sources say they can affect your teeth. I'm not sure, but if your wisdom teeth really are shifting your other teeth, maybe that's a good enough reason to have them removed.
I would say, yes, overall, it's worth it to have the wisdom teeth taken out, because they typically cause problems later in life, and you heal much better when you're younger. If the CT scan shows it's not safe, though, then there are other options, such as a coronectomy. Your oral surgeon may be able to help you figure out why your teeth are pushed forward, too. Side note: you may need a referral from a dentist to see an oral surgeon. Good luck!
Here's a video showing the CT scan and a surgeon who seems like he's really good at identifying if it's safe to do the surgery or not: th-cam.com/video/Z_xz321XUpI/w-d-xo.html
I'm now on day 32. On day 27, I got an infection in one of my bottom sockets. Doc said the infection could be in the salivary gland, but it's unknown exactly. I'm currently on antibiotics.
Before the infection, my jaw was mostly healed. Most of the stiffness was gone. The popping seems to have disappeared altogether now. However, the infection caused major swelling, which caused a lot of stiffness again. I've been on antibiotics for 5 days now, and the stiffness is resolving again. I only have a little pain in my jaw when open wide.
My tongue is still a bit numb, but I think it's getting better. I don't notice it as much, and it doesn't bother me as much.
I can eat most foods now, but it hurts to eat anything that is very chewy or hard.
@@incognitocat555 Thank you for updating. Hope you are better now
How are u now? :)
But what if the teeth next to the wisdom teeth don't have cavities, and the wisdom teeth are under the gym and I'm 35 and I'm not having pain.
Surprised a Coronectomy was not mentioned here. That's what im about to have done. The top of the tooth is removed ("cut in half") and the wisdom tooth roots that are intertwined with the nerve will remain, for now.
How did it go? I'm supposed to have my wisdom rooth removed and mines is by the nerves too. Ima tell them too do the coronectomy instead. Mines is in 10 days
@@hmng2178 it went really well. I would read into it and recommend it if you're tooths roots are married well to your nerve. What happens in about half of patients who get coronectomy done is the bottom half/root of the tooth after 1-2 years grows away from the nerve and toward the surface where it's safer, and then the rest of the tooth (the roots) is removed later on during that time. I'm 30 years old by the way, for reference
@@hmng2178 how was your wisdom removal?
I had that exact procedure done, but it’s 12 years later now and the half tooth is causing pain.
Now I’m back to either having it removed with permanent numbness on my face or wicked pain the rest of my life .
No answers
@@Earthtime3978 I would try going to a different oral surgeon if I were you. Make sure they do a CT scan. It shows a 3D image which is very helpful for identifying exactly where the nerve is.
i wish i listen to this before i remove my lower molar close to my nerve = (. Now i feel the pain and i dont know if it will go away anytime soon. My oral surgeon didn't tell me the repercussion of removing it, all he thinks about is money money.
Did it ever go away?
even if the worst happens and the nerve is damaged possibly permenemly instead of the usual few weeks until it heals naturally, there's always surgeries you can try to get the feeling back and numbness to go away
They can do what is called a coronectomy... It means they take the crown and leave the root, if the root is too close to the nerve. Its a very common procedure for impacted wisdom teeth. I had it done in Mexico..It takes a little longer to heal, But you avoid risking the nerve damage that can happen with a surgical extraction.
How did u heal? They gave me this option as well but they said if I end up getting an infection that they would have to go back & remove the root & still risk having nerve damage.
Considering Coronectomy for wisdom tooth extraction? - th-cam.com/video/ejec6d5vfSs/w-d-xo.html
I was told they can’t on mine as it’s decayed. Is that the truth?
I've been crying from anxiety for the past few days. After hearing the doc say that the risk is lower for ages 35 below, I felt a sense of relief. Thank you. I'll have my surgery 10 days from now
hey, dont cry over something that might never happen. Be happy you know the rick in advance an even if it happens you can fully recover it. I had my nerve damaged 2 years now, but I did'n knew what to do back than.
@@Notchillkristindid you recovered from the nerve damaged?
@@salomonsarmiento6274 No! I had it on my jaw and tounge still. They told me I wont recover.
There is inovative healing therapy treatments even surgery, but you need to act in the first 6 months. My doctor back than told me “its nothing”, “just wait”. Now I found really good specialist but he says its too late so he recommend CBT therapy - so a person can accept that this will be permanent.
@@Notchillkristin Hello! Thank you for your kind words--you were right, I shouldn't have imagined bad scenarios. I had my lower right third molar extracted yesterday. I am feeling sore but I'm taking extra care of my movements (eating, drinking, etc.) to keep my recovery smooth. Hopefully, everything goes well. I'm also glad that you found a good therapist.
I have my tooth close in my nerve but not too close. The dentist had a hard time taking it out even though the tooth is already loose but he cannot pull it because the roots are hard. I was bleeding a lot throughout an hour of surgery that they decided to just remove the crown and leave the root since he's also afraid that he would end up pushing the tooth below. He sectioned my teeth a couple of times and I am worried if they leave it cracked. I can still see my teeth 'til now.
Please keep us updated. That sounds really scary with the blood. Keeping the root in prevents nerve damage.
Doctor asked me to refer senior doctor, but she said if it's close to nerve in jaw then we can break it upper parts and leave the roots inside after OPG.
Or get RCT.
But in RCT i am thinking i will be in same position after 10 years.
So what one did you go with
wat did u choose
Please any update with your decision?
I have more than 48 hrs of numbness and weird feeling of my half lower lip and chin, this is my fear and i was asked to start b complex.. this is something i never knw had a complicated tooth extraction...
Did feeling come back?
Where's Harold?
Ugh idk what to do I got 4 wisdoms removed 2020 and I accidentally stabbed my extraction hole with the cleaning syringe while cleaning ever since it’s been so messed up and hurts feels numb still and dentist tell me nothing is wrong…..😔
No one told me the risk at all I went to Aspen dental at 29 . I saw my dentist as I had other plans the next week… the original visit just 5 days before they told me I would be completely fine in 2 days not even that long. that removed my wisdom teeth 5 seconds before the removal . I was almost out and he said actually it’s going to take longer to heal but never did they say they would hit a nerve I would’ve never got it done !!! Lies .
hw r u doing now
My surgeon NEVER TOLD ME the risks, and im so scared. It is day 2 s/p the tooth extraction (2 lower wisdom teeth), and most of my lower lip i cant feel on the right side, as well as my bottom right teeth and gums, and most of my right chin, I have a lisp now as well. Im so upset these risks weren't discussed with me, because if they were, there's no way I would have gone through with this. I've been crying pretty much all day these past 2 days. He was SO ROUGH with my tooth trying to get it out, I am so afraid the damage is permanent. I do have some feeling in most of those places, but very little unless I am practically stabbing myself, then I feel some pain. What should I do?
@Nandita Suklabaidya im so sorry this happened to you! Its been a little over 2 months for me, and I have healed a lot more than I probably should have. I am grateful for it. Just get good rest, take your vitamin b vitamins, maybe try Lions Mane, and facial exercises with massage to the area. I also have been doing acupuncture, and I believe it has helped in my healing a lot. I have about all of my feeling back, the sensation just remains altered. Its also very early for you (4 days). I remember how upset and scared I was at that point, but you are more likely than not to get better!!! ❤ 🤍 💙 🧡 🖤

So all in all yr telling me go ahead take the risk now bc mines are gonna be impacted and I could take a chance of nerve damage yes but no matter what they will have to be removed and I will still have to take this chance but it’ll be higher and less likely to heal that a damage nerve from a dentist can heal I hate dentist don’t trust them the drilled to deep into ny tooth once n that was it for me now I have to deal with them bc wisdom teeth issues n they’re telling me all 4 must come out at once I’m terrified of the risk the surgery is the 20th of Feb and I was debating on canceling letting them grow in all my friends say that’s what they did and they were fine and didn’t have to risk nerve damage but idk if mines will even grow in
If I were you, I would wait until you're 25, because wisdom teeth typically erupt by that time. If they erupt and then you have them removed, the chance of nerve damage is virtually gone.
I had all 4 removed in March, i was not informed on possible nerve damage. of course my bottom left was side ways. the next day after surgery i went back in that area felt like i was choking on my tongue i count eat at all. i went to another dentist and got told i had nerve damage. i can move my tongue but on ky left side i cant feel it its always in pain especially if i move my tongue a lot. its now august and nothing has changed. im devastated. is there anything i could ever do? to regain that nerve? please help
How r u now?
try taking b complex
You should update us on your recovery, there’s so many that would find your update helpful
Hi guys I didn’t see the replies so it’s now we’ll over a year later and I can move my tongue and use it but my back left side is constantly numb. That side of my tongue is always dry j have to brush my teeth a lot. I can’t feel if I stab it or bite hard it doesn’t hurt so sadly I do have nerve damage but I’m more thankful I can still move my tongue and didn’t have any face nerve damage. Please make sure you get a in depth x ray so they can locate nerves to go around my doctor who did my surgery did not then I went ti another dentist as I was going through horrible pain they did and seen that he had went right through my nerve.
@@kaliehuggins6622 I'm so sorry. It's been about a year for you now. Any more recovery?
If not, I would suggest going to a neurologist or a new oral surgeon to see if they can help you. I'm on day 11 of wisdom teeth removal, and my tongue is numb on the right side, but it's more on the top and tip, not the back of the tongue. My doctor did do a CT scan, but I guess he thought my nerve was fine where it was. I've heard a lot of people say to take a b-complex with all the b vitamins. B vitamins help heal nerves. There is also a couple types of nerve surgery repair that can be done, but I'm not sure how successful they are. I go back to my oral surgeon in a couple days for my 2-week check up. If he says anything important, I'll let you know.
I am 36 and i have same problem with the wosdom tooth should i remove ? Because younger age is less nerves damage if its is damage there is more or fast chance to recover what should i do? pleze suggest me
Coronectomy
Have it removed, it’s not as scary as this video or comments come across. I did 2 at the same time. Pain lasted 2-12 days but was later ok, I was just taking pain killers
@@teebrowne463 was it near a nerve?
go for coronectomy
what did u choose
as a 32 year old, this didnt ease my mind at all
Of course when you’re younger it’s a better option to remove the tooth. Why not address a guy like me at 58 having wisdom tooth related pain?
I was told that it wouldn’t be a good outcome if the tooth was removed because I’d be permanently numb on my lower lip and jaw line. It how can I leave it in? Basically I have to have it removed at some point and live with severe numbness for the rest of my life!
Wait some time, my best guess is hopefully more advancements in medicine can change that
@@bruhism173 Advances in medicine can take many, many years.
@@Earthtime3978 I don't remember when I last slept and I remember making that comment
@@Earthtime3978 but yes it can, hope for a crazy dentist amoung my generation, heck, maybe they will use Lazer that only gets rid of the tooth part and avoids damaging the gums and all dental extractions can be changed forever, I think I might be onto something. Sleep deprivation for the win.
I'm 58 and have been taking painkillers for 3 months. For three weeks having very bad wisdom tooth pain so finally see a dentist. He is not confident so has given me antibiotics and I will see his colleague this weekend. I am so nervous about nerve damage now.
Coronectomy. Done.
I’m leaning towards a coronectomy which I found was strangely not discussed in the video. Is the risk of complications fairly low? I’m 20 and I’m definitely not risking permanent nerve damage.
@@shades935Much lower than full extraction. Nothing is ever 100%.
Over exaggeration. I had the same issue and trust me, if the surgeon feels like it will cause nerves damage, they will only take out the upper of the teeth and leaves the root behind.
You will feels numb and the tingling sensation. You will feel pain for the first 6 - 12 hours so take your pain killers. The next day, you will be fine but you still can't do suction or eat food that requires heavy chewing. Then three days later, swelling come down and you will be back to normal.
Before I had my wisdom tooth remove, I watched TH-cam and people are all dramatic. It is not even that bad.
True I had my upper wisdom teeth removed and and like she says TH-cam scare the shit outta me but it was a super easy procedure I didn’t feel any pain at all. but they told me I need a specialist to get my bottom two removed and the cycle is happening all over again
But were your teeth close to your nerves?
You're lucky because in my case, 2 of my wisdom teeth were removed and after more than 2 weeks, half of my tongue is still numb.
It's been 4 weeks and the right side of my lip, chin, and teeth are still numb. I had several people say the same as you telling me it's a piece of cake. On top of that the hole is still open and I have to irrigate it after I eat.
My case is the same but my doctor didn't give me any other solution other than pull the entire wisdom teeth, should i ask another doctor's opinion?
don't REMOVE IT. MOST LIKELY IF ITS TOUCHING OR CLOSE TO IT YOU WILL DAMAGE THE NERVE. 5% MY ASS MORE LIKE 99% CHANCE YOU WILL LOSE FEELING
I didn't remove, they gave me a 30% chance of nerve damage four years ago
I agree the chances are much higher than they tell you. I was told 2% chance, but my tongue is still numb, and I'm on day 11, so that means my nerve was injured. There's still a chance it will heal, but we'll see.
@@incognitocat555 it willl eventually heel.. it took 7 years for me... I have days occasionally when its numb again, but it took 7 years for me to get like 70% of the feeling back. in the beginning I was drooling and didnt even know it lolol. My doctor told me I would probably lose feeling. he said I'm not sure when you will get it back though. his words. 7 days, 7 weeks, 7 months, 7 years.. and son of a bitch I was 7 years lmaoooooooooo
@@incognitocat555 but I would recommend not removing... if you could live with ZERO infection do so...I'm telling the wisdom teeth removal was a MAJOR FACTOR IN MY TMJ!!!!!
@@iTzShakenJoE I'm so sorry. I hear b vitamins help with nerve repair, so maybe you could try that to get it back to 100%. My tongue is a little better today, and I've been taking b vitamins, but it could just be a coincidence. I take 500 mg B12 daily, and then I have a b-complex I take, as well. I'm not sure how to fix TMJ, but I know if you sleep on your side, your jaw can kind of hang, and that puts excess pressure on the joint.
Thank you for the words of encouragement. I think I did need the surgery, at least for my bottom right tooth, which is the one that probably caused the nerve damage with the numbness being on the right side of my tongue. That wisdom tooth has been infected 2 times in 2 years, and also twice before that. I'm hopeful it will heal, but they say the nerve damage can be permanent is about 0.5% of people.
