If you are getting your wisdom teeth pulled would have to take out tongue ring?

Yes, you would likely have to take out your tongue ring before having your wisdom teeth pulled. This is because the removal of wisdom teeth requires a significant amount of work and manipulation around the back of your mouth, tongue and throat. The dentist will need to be able to access the molars properly and freely move the surgical tools. Having a tongue ring in place can impede and limit their access and the surgery becomes more challenging to perform correctly and safely.

Additionally, the tongue ring may get in the way of the numbing shots required for the procedure. The presence of the tongue ring can potentially interfere with the proper administration of anesthesia and compromise the patient's comfort and safety during the surgery.

For these reasons, dentists usually advise patients to remove the tongue ring prior to the wisdom teeth extraction and it's recommended to follow your dentist's instructions. Your dentist will inform you when it is safe to re-insert the tongue ring after the surgery and ensure proper healing has taken place.
