I had this done recently (in my 30’s). I wish I would have done it in my 20’s because some of the wisdom teeth were impacted and they damaged my other molars. Each individual has a different situation when it comes to wisdom teeth so consult your dentist.

There are two possible complications that come to mind depending on if the teeth are the upper ones or the lower ones in the jaw. I am not sure how probable these complications are, but if you have your wisdom teeth removed they will explain these issues to you.

Above the upper wisdom teeth are the sinuses. It is possible that once an upper wisdom tooth is removed that there will be an opening between the mouth to the sinuses. This depends on how much bone exists in that area. As people age, the ammount of bone in that area decreses (especially if you don’t have good dental hygene).

The lower wisdom teeth are close to a nerve in the jaw. It is possible that when a lower wisdom tooth is removed that this nerve will be damaged. I was told that if this nerve is damaged it will not be visible to others, but you will feel a little numb in that area. The nerve damage may or may not heal.
