Re: Does everyone have to have widom teeth out prior to Jaw surgery

[Guest guest]

Drew,

I am having lefort I in August (hopefully sooner if everything looks to be in

place when they review my progress models next week) and like you, I have

wisdom teeth that don't cause any apparent problems. I am fortunate enough to

have only two, both on my right side and my surgeon has said that as long as

they don't get in the way of the surgery they do not have to come out. I take

that to mean that if they discover while they are in there that they will be

a problem taking them out will just be an added " bonus " of the procedure.

Just ask your surgeon the next time you speak to him for reassurance on your

particular case.

Best of luck to you!
