Facial paralysis is not a common outcome following tooth extraction, but it can occur in rare cases, particularly if the extraction involves the lower wisdom teeth or if there is inadvertent damage to nearby nerves. The inferior alveolar nerve, which supplies sensation to the lower lip and chin, is most at risk during lower jaw procedures. If a patient experiences facial paralysis after a tooth extraction, they should consult their dentist or oral surgeon for evaluation and management. Generally, most patients recover without complications.
