WSIDOM TEETH EXTRACTION
Both my lower wisdom teeth were extracted last week. Now since I have only 4 molars instead of 6 in the lower jaw, the surface area of teeth in lower jaw has reduced drastically.
(1) Will my chewing ability get reduced now?
(2) Will my chewing time increase?
(3) Will the removal of wisdom teeth cause me any problem?
Attaching dental OPG.
PLEASE PLEASE GIVE YOUR ANSWER IN DETAIL.
Thank you

Wisdom teeth are usually extra teeth which we do not use for chewing, so generally chewing ability does not reduce after extraction of these teeth.
Removal of wisdom teeth may cause sensitivity in your second last tooth. But other wise the wound will heal completely within 6 months
