Dh went to have a wisdom tooth taken out under LA but was told by the orthodontist that there was a 1/250 chance of damage to the nerves in the cheek and tongue. Also she advised to have it done under GA instead. He is very worried about the potential nerve damage, is it actually as common as that?
Our own dentist recommended having it taken out as the tooth in front can't be filled because of the wisdom tooth.
