Side Effects and Risks. The most common side effect of wisdom tooth extraction is swelling. Almost all patients suffer from swollen cheeks after the surgery. This can be alleviated by keeping the head elevated and applying ice packs to the outside of the cheeks as necessary.
As a result, wisdom teeth may erupt sideways, only partially, or become trapped (impacted), leading to pain, infection, and gum line and facial swelling. When any of these conditions arise, your dentist may determine that wisdom tooth extraction is necessary.
