A. The only dangers of having the upper wisdom teeth extracted is perforating the sinus. This is a rare occurrence and would have been properly assessed by your Dentist to see if it is likely to happen. Dont be put off by the horror stories of wisdom teeth extration, the lower ones are often much more difficult!
