Can you still have your wisdom teeth removed if you have a head cold?

No. I'm not a dentist, so I couldn't tell you that a cold will directly interfere with the surgery. However, the recovery may be more difficult with a cold. With a stuffy nose, you may be forced to breathe through your mouth. After wisdom teeth extraction, you will have stitches in your mouth and spaces where your wisdom teeth were. It is a good idea not to allow air to reach these areas because they could create a "dry socket", where nerve endings and possibly bone would be exposed and would be extremely painful. Infection is also more likely with a cold. My advice? Try to get your wisdom teeth extraction scheduled after you are over the cold and at full strength.

AnswerIf you wisdom teeth were way back, you might have a sore throat, because the healing is happening back there and the pain will last a few days to a week.But the sore throat can also be related to a cold that you are having at the same time.AnswerI was 30 years old (very healthy) and I didn't have a sore throat, with my wisdom teeth extraction, but did feel like I had the flu. My head, body, ears, and lymph nodes ached for 3 days afterward. Antibiotics, sleep, and a cold pack for exterior swelling/discomfort are *key*.

Loss of taste, teeth, cavities, and impacted teeth like the wisdom teeth, crowding, rotting from-sugar, plaque, bad breath, loss of jaw function, choking hazards and holes in your esophagus or tonsils-might need them surgically removed. Extremely painful to eat or drink hot or cold fluids, loss of the microscopic hairs on the tongue can cause more infections like strep throat, and trouble swallowing.
