Having the wisdom teeth removed always causes a slight risk of nerve damage in the face. At least that's what I was told by my daughter's surgeon. Having an infection shouldn't affect that either way. I really wish they would take your tooth so you could get some relief. I know all too well how it sucks to have a bad toothache.
