Can you die from dental surgery?

Answer 1

From the procedure it's self? It is very unlikely. However, there are certain risks to be taken into account depending on the anesthesia used... Any type of general Anesthesia has a small chance of causing heart failure, resulting in death. The practitioner has to warn you about this, and all other possibilities/outcomes from the procedure. Don't be afraid to ask questions if you're worried about something. *queue cheesy music* THE MORE YOU KNOW....

Yes, it is 'possible' but extremely unlikely. All the common complications associated with wisdom teeth extractions are well known and well managed by competent practitioners. Tooth extraction is one of the most common surgeries and it is one of the safest. Millions of procedures are performed every year with almost no fatalities.

Your best option is to discuss your concerns with a qualified and experienced oral surgeon. He/she can discuss the realities of this surgery better than anyone. I heard a boxer who died because of complications from it. he had his extraction prior to his fight. he got beaten up really good. his jaw swell enormously, and he got an extreme fever but he ignored it. it was too late before they got him on the hospital.
