Q. Hello, my boyfriends wisdom tooth is growing outward and into the cheek at the side. This causes him much pain on and off and has done for at least 5 years now. He has been to the dentist, but they said that they wouldn’t want to remove the tooth, because it could paralyse the face. Please can you tell me, can he have the tooth removed next to it, to take the pressure off the wisdom tooth and stop it growing into his cheek ? Many thanks, ,
