Is it safe to get a wisdom tooth extracted while having a fever? It's for my 24-year-old sister.

If she is getting sedation, it would be best to contact the office. Otherwise, I think you want to inform the doctor, since it might increase risk of complications.

I do not think that getting any bigger dental procedure is safe while having a fever. As geos suggests, she should call her office and ask what to do.
