Question

i have heard that if there is an infection after the wisdom teeth surgery...it can acctually travel down and infect...my brother had to get surgery on his fibula..there was a bad break. my om is worried that it might get infected if he gets his wisdom teeth out. infection of the bones?

Answer 1

teeth and legs have no baring on one another. He will be fine, and get pain meds for his teeth that will help him feel better with the leg

Answer 2

He should ask the doctor who treated his leg and tell his dentist.  How long ago did he break his leg?

Legs, teeth...they're all in the same body, in the same bloodstream.  Infections can spread.  Dentists are very aware of this.
