The most common fear among patients is impairment of eyesight after extraction (https://vdentalcare.in/blog/impaction/). Usually, patients believe this is an absolute myth. That extraction of their upper tooth will lead to pain in the eye / visible disturbances, this belief is due to a lack of proper awareness and dental education among people.
The fact is that…. Yearly, numerous patients undergo extraction of upper teeth without any complications. The reason is, the nerve supply of eyes and teeth is different. The eye is supplied by the branch of a trigeminal nerve called as ophthalmic nerve, Whereas the teeth are supplied by the maxillary branch & mandible nerve of the trigeminal nerve. So, since the nerve supply is different there is no chance of visual impairment due to upper tooth extraction.
