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.
If a wisdom tooth doesn't have room to grow (impacted wisdom tooth), resulting in pain, infection or other dental problems, you'll likely need to have it pulled. Wisdom tooth extraction may be done by a dentist or an oral surgeon. To prevent potential future problems, some dentists and oral surgeons recommend wisdom tooth extraction even if impacted teeth aren't currently causing problems.
