Nerve Injuries
Often when nerve injuries occur, they result from the extraction of wisdom teeth or third molars. The injury that is sustained from the improper conduction of the extraction procedure is nearly always to the inferior alveolar nerve or the lingual nerve.
If a nerve is severed in the extraction process, it is essential that the nerve be identified and surgically repaired as soon as possible. There needs to be immediate recognition of the injury, in addition to diagnosis and treatment. A doctor or another dentist must be seen in order to preserve as much of the feeling in the area as possible.
- A fractured jaw may also result from an improper extraction. This is also a serious situation which requires comprehensive treatment in order to ensure that your jaw is functional in the future and that your bite is not hindered.
