Cavity on wisdom tooth
I have a cavity on a wisdom tooth...dr suggested to remove it by surgery. But currently i am experiencing some numb feelings around my lips on the same side, and sometimes speech problems, it's like i have to give extra effort to sound correct. I am going to remove this today. But is this related to this tooth or something else ?

It might or might not be due to the wisdom tooth , just get the wisdom tooth extracted if all the symptoms goes aways it was because of the tooth , if not its better if you get re-examined for the same, in most of the cases it's because of the wisdom tooth only.

Hi,
There is a possibility the wisdom tooth is infected and that is causing the symptoms. Once you remove it, you will feel better.
