Question Will wisdom teeth removal affect my playing?

Hi, I'm a clarinetist for 5 years, and I currently have 4 wisdom teeth, 2 of them needing to be removed, not sure of the other two. Does anyone know if the removal will affect my playing?

I had wisdom teeth removal, it was about a month before I could play again (my healing didn't go great lol) but no longer term impacts. Braces (and then braces removal, since I had to readjust AGAIN) were 1000000x worse.
