A new study published by the Pennsylvania School of Medicine in the journal Chemical Senses found that patients who had their wisdom teeth removed have improved their sense of taste for decades after surgery
Dr.
Dotti and Dane Kim, a third-year student at the School of Dentistry at the University of Pennsylvania, evaluated data from 1,255 patients who had received chemical sensations at the Center for Smell and Taste at the University of Pennsylvania for the past 20 years.
The "full mouth recognition" test contains five different concentrations of sucrose, sodium chloride, citric acid and caffeine
The tooth extraction group was better than the control group in each of the four senses of taste, and in all cases, women were better than men
Kim said: "This study strongly shows that removal of the third molar has a long-term positive effect on the tongue and taste pathways of some people, although the effect is small
The author says that there are two possibilities to explain this enhancement
Dotti said: "Further research is needed to determine the mechanism behind the extract's improved taste function
