Can you still have your wisdom teeth removed if you have a head cold?

No. I'm not a dentist, so I couldn't tell you that a cold will directly interfere with the surgery. However, the recovery may be more difficult with a cold. With a stuffy nose, you may be forced to breathe through your mouth. After wisdom teeth extraction, you will have stitches in your mouth and spaces where your wisdom teeth were. It is a good idea not to allow air to reach these areas because they could create a "dry socket", where nerve endings and possibly bone would be exposed and would be extremely painful. Infection is also more likely with a cold. My advice? Try to get your wisdom teeth extraction scheduled after you are over the cold and at full strength.
