This isn't a personal story of my own, but I remember that years ago
Gervase de Peyer had the most terrible trouble. The removal of one of
his upper wisdom teeth allowed air to escape from his mouth into his
nose (perhaps he began playing too early). Anyway, he went through a
period of squeaking and being unable to play properly that lasted many
months.

Andrew Marriner (son of Neville, and principal clarinet of the LSO) had
a different experience when the operation on his lower jaw damaged a
sensory nerve from his lower lip, half of which he cannot now feel.

I noticed myself questioning my dentist very closely before having one
of my lower wisdom teeth removed last year. He took several X-rays.
