Removing wisdom teeth

Hi dr., I have problem in my wisdom teeth. The consultant said I have to remove my teeth to cure it. Some of my friends are saying that there would be a permanent gap in that area. And I may have face a problem of stucking food in that hole. is this true?

Don't worry about the gap, it will close in a few days time. As for the food getting stuck, your surgeon will guide you.

Listen to the doctor and get it removed if it's troubling, if not the problem might increase.
