Is It Normal To Have My Sense Of Smell Back After The Removal Of Wisdom Tooth?
Have you ever heard of someones sense of smell coming back after upper wisdom tooth removal? My understanding is that one of mine is quite high in the sinus cavity. (My sense of smell has been diminished for about six years, I thought it was because I accidentally inhaled too much strong shower cleaner one day while trying to get rid of hard water build up).

Hello,
No it is not like that as the phenomena of sense of smell is not related to this extraction of wisdom tooth. If something has happened like this it can be an incidental finding.
As the nerves for both these are different from each other. So better not to correlate them.
Hope it will help you.
