Last May, I got two root canals, one repeat root canal, and three crowns. I am trying to catch up on dental work for my neglected teeth. I have two wisdom teeth left \u2013 both lower \u2013 one hurts and is impacted. The oral surgeon says the impacted wisdom tooth is causing neck and ear pain. She says that after she removed it, I will feel relief. For some reason, she does not want to remove both wisdom teeth while I am sedated. I told her that I do not want either of them removed if she does not take both teeth out. Neither of us is budging. Why wouldn’t she remove both teeth? Thank you. Jonah from TN<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Lacy would need to examine your teeth or refer you to an oral surgeon for a second opinion. Without an exam, we cannot give you an accurate diagnosis. If your oral surgeon does not want to remove both wisdom teeth while you are sedated<\/a>, she must have a good reason for it. Maybe there are no issues with the tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you do not understand why the oral surgeon will not remove the tooth, it is best to speak with her. Ask for an explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Happens If You Do Not Remove and Impacted Wisdom Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Get a second opinion on wisdom teeth removal<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you do not remove an impacted wisdom tooth, a tooth infection can spread. If you already have an earache and neck pain, they are symptoms that your body is trying to fight the infection. Lingering tooth infections can flare-up. In rare cases, they can even be life-threatening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You and your oral surgeon disagree. So, you can schedule a second opinion with another oral surgeon. Have copies of your x-ray sent before your second-opinion appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
