Hello,

If there deep-seated infection it might spread more than you think it will. It might not be painful but deeper inside where your tonsil is infected will pain. If you keep these foci of infection, then it's relatively dangerous than you getting it removed. Yes, there could be nerve injury, but in all procedures, there will be some risk we need not bother because very less percentage of people get into a complication. Hope you won't get any complication and get your wisdom teeth removed.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Archana
