The pros and cons can differ for each tooth and for different patient conditions.
Health Tips
Bleeding, swelling, pain, soreness, numbness etc can all occur. Most severe complications are rare and may not be relevant to know unless it’s specific to your condition which only the treating clinician can say based on your condition.
