    Could tooth extraction cause blindness?
    I had my tooth in upper jaw extracted and I lost my sight about 4 days after the extraction. I want to know, is there any connection between eye's nerves and tooth's nerves? What about Nervus Trigeminus? I am asking because I asked my dentist who did the extraction of my tooth and he said that there is absolutely no connection between tooth extraction and loss of sight. However, I asked other doctors and dentists and all of them told me that tooth extraction in upper jaw could cause loss of sight but doctors in my country protect each other so they don't want to stand in front to help me since I plan to sue the dentist.
