My daughter has 4 impacted wisdom tooth. The lower one are impacted to the point that the oral surg said there could be some nerve damage done when the teeth are extracted. what kind of problems orther than numbness would there be.

I don't think there would be any other problems except maybe a dry socket which is something that can not be anticipated.

there is ALWAYS the possibility of nerve damage when having an extraction of the lower molars. it could lead to numbness that goes away after time or never goes away. its rare but they drs have to always let you know about this. discuss this with him and possibly get another opinion.
