Is it risky to pull out the left and right maxillary wisdom teeth in this picture?

Extraction of wisdom teeth is a minor operation, and as long as it is an operation, there are risks. The risk depends on the impacted wisdom teeth, the difficulty of extraction and the patient's health.

The main risk of extracting maxillary wisdom teeth is that the oral cavity is easily connected with the maxillary sinus, thus forming an oral-nasal fistula. This is because there is a cavity on both sides of the maxilla, which communicates with the nasal cavity and is called maxillary sinus. The distance between the roots of maxillary molars and maxillary sinus is very close, and some people have roots in maxillary sinus. Therefore, when the maxillary wisdom teeth are extracted, it is easy to cause the oral cavity to communicate with the maxillary sinus, forming an oral-nasal fistula.
