Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have pain in my upper wisdom teeth for the past one year. I had visited a dentist for a check-up. He did X-ray of my teeth and told me that food stuck between molar teeth and wisdom teeth is causing pain. So he advised me to remove wisdom teeth and filling process. But I am scared that upper teeth have a connection with brain and eyes. So, the process of teeth removal can harm my eyes and brain. Please advise me what I can do. If I do not remove my teeth, then what will be its side effect?
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. This is a misconception that there is a direct connection between wisdom teeth to brain and eyes. There is no such relationship between the two. Wisdom teeth are vestigial and do not function if your other teeth are in good position. If you get it removed, there will be no problem to your eyes or brain. Let me know if there is severe pain or swelling so that I can prescribe medication for same.
Thank you.
