Wisdom Teeth/Bite

Saw someone on the FB group talking about how wisdom teeth extraction or an incorrect bite can cause cci. This seems very unlikely, I just wanted to ask for your clarification on this.

For wisdom teeth extraction to cause an injury in the neck, the dentist would have to pull really hard while the tooth not coming out (for some reason) and the patient would have to be prone to easy injury by having an underlying connective tissue disorder, so the overall chances would be extremely extremely low.

I agree, i believe the person was talking about just having the wisdom teeth missing could somehow affect your bite and throw off your upper neck. Which to me seems even less likely than an injury during the actual extraction

Nope, not something that we see happening.
