My mouth won't open wide enough for a wisdom tooth extraction does this mean I'll need surgery to get it out? I'm really worried about how they'll do it if I can't open my jaw properly.

If you cannot open your mouth wide enough for a wisdom tooth extraction, it could indicate that jaw surgery is necessary to widen the mouth or reposition the tooth for easier removal.
