You can develop an infection from the removal of the root tip especially if there was contact with the wisdom tooth during the procedure. It could feel similar to a dry socket or it could just swell up. However, there is no way to know for sure if it will happen or not.
Depending on where the wisdom tooth is located, if it is impacted, if it laying horizontally, etc., would determine whether it needs to be removed or not.

hi
i couldn't tell you if he was an oral surgeon, it just says on my letter it just says: speciality: oral and maxillo facial surgery.
i presume there was contact with the wisdom as he said he could see it and it is an impacted one. after the procedure and the local wore off i didn't really have any pain until last night, when i previously had the dry socket and infection it is the same pain that goes to one tooth at the front? i am doing everything that i should be doing and still have not smoked, do you think i would have known about any infection by now as it was done on monday. when i had the dry socket and infection last time, my breath was awful and had an awful taste in my mouth, but i have not yet got that.
i had a tooth pulled out on the other side aswell and the teeth next to it hurt, could that have made the deep pocket i may have worse? im just fed up of being in pain with my teeth, i also still feel dizzy/lightheaded that started as soon as i got up from the surgery.
