Can Wisdom Tooth Extraction Cause Sudden Loss Of Potency?

Hello. I just read a story on here about someone who had lost 100% of his potency after having his lower right wisdom tooth extracted. The story dates from 2012. I ve never had any problems with potency, but after having the same tooth pulled out, the same thing happened to me. from full function to 0 function overnight. Have you heard of others? I m 40 now but only 33 when I had the tooth pulled. hope you can help. etc.

Hello,

Wisdom teeth extraction does not cause loss of potency. It is a myth. Get your wisdom teeth clinically examined by a dentist, if it needs to be extracted, get it removed. No worries. Potency is affected due to other factors like excessive smoking, taking alcohol, or obesity. Avoid it. Do regular exercises and walking.

Medical conditions like diabetes, heart issues, neurological and nerve disorders, endocrine diseases, depression-anxiety or relationship problems cause potency problems. You are advised to get clinically examined by a urologist and get evaluated for the factor that is causing loss of potency so that treatment can be started at the earliest.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
