Hello Dr. Zhao, I would like to ask about the damage to facial nerve caused by tooth extraction.

It is true that the doctor must inform you of the risks before performing the operation. However, when clinically removing impacted teeth in the transverse position of the mandible, I have not mentioned that the inferior alveolar nerve will be injured unless it is quite severe. Roughly speaking, there is no problem in being cautious during the operation, but you have to worry about the pain for about a week after the tooth extraction in hot weather. It is best to wait until the autumn coolness before extraction.

As for waiting for the doctor to tell me, I am actually willing to have someone by my side who can replace me when extracting this kind of teeth. After all, I am over forty and my physical strength may be exhausted.
