Suggest Treatment For Impacted Wisdom Tooth
It is possible
Detailed Answer:
Good evening. The short answer is YES....it is possible that in your case the presence of an impacted wisdom tooth is causing enough irritation of the dental nerves to result in hemifacial spasms.
However, it is just as likely that the spasms and wisdom tooth impaction are coincidental events.
I would say that if your impacted tooth is bothering you to any extent or is infected then, you lose nothing...and in fact, are doing yourself a favor by having it removed to see if the facial spasms will resolve. On the other hand, if this would be more of an elective type of surgery in the face of no pain, no infection, and no distress to any other neighboring teeth (unusual) then, getting the procedure done is not imminently emergent and therefore, I think you would have to convince yourself that the 2 were related so as not to be disappointed if the hemifacial spasms don't stop.
