I have a though dilemma. I got a date for a wisdom teeth surgery but It’s one day before a concert. Could something bad happen if I attend both? I will only drink water on the concert.

      Luckily in my case it’s only 1 wisdom teeth and it’s roots are really small. There’s no serious misalignment with it.

    You will be absolutely miserable. I was leaking blood out of my mouth for days after mine and the pain was seriously intense. Heavy dental surgery like that requires rest to recover properly.

      I learned after my wisdom teeth removal that I’m highly sensitive to Vicodin… I was either high as hell or passed out for the whole week after my surgery. Still miserable when awake too. :(

      Mine was just a minor issue afterwards, totally could have gone to a concert a day later.

    Just change your dentist’s appointment man. Don’t wait till you are there to ask. The sooner the better.

    Yeah, it’s going to suck. Your mouth will be pretty sore, a bit foul, and tasting bloody. I’d give the concert a pass and save yourself the headache.

    I had mine out when I was like 18 on a Friday and I hosted a house party the following Saturday/Sunday. They gave me pain pills so I wasn’t even uncomfortable.

    Just don’t smoke weed/anything really, don’t suck dick. Don’t use a straw. Or do anything that creates suction in your mouth. Then only do what you feel up to.

    Although I’ve gone to concerts in a wheelchair after internal surgery so I might just have a high pain tolerance and a low FOMO-tolerance

    I’d say ask your doctor. They can give you the best advice. Personally, I think it’d be a bad idea to got to a concert that close to a surgery even if it’s “just” a wisdom tooth removal.

      Can absolutely agree with that, but I was a dummie since I forgot about the concert when deciding on a date. I think I’m gonna ask him before the surgery then.

    I didn’t go to a concert after getting mine out, but I was up for anything the next day. I was amazed at the lack of pain, I never felt a thing from the surgery. The worst part about it was having to watch what I ate and taking care of the extraction area for a few weeks. It’s different for everyone, but it might not be bad for you at all.

    Edit: I had all 4 removed at once, they were impacted, and I was under anesthesia as well.

      I had mine done in pairs, the first time was one of the worst experiences of my life with weeks of intense pain, and the other was uneventful.

        Yeah super lucky! I don’t know what happens during the extraction process but I guess the oral surgeon really knew his stuff.

    I had to take codeine for a week after getting just one removed and I was absolutely out of it. So, your mileage may vary.

    I felt fine the day after getting mine pulled.

    Lots of ibuprofen and Tylenol for the pain (not both at the same time IIRC) but other than the risk of getting elbowed in the face I don’t see any problems.

    What’s the concert anyway?

    Why are you having them out? If it’s cause they’re causing you pain then you might be better having them out. Pain should be less after even soon.

      My dentistrecommended me to pull it out, even though I feel no pain currently. Her reasoning was that probably it could cause pain after a while, so best to pull it out before that happens.

        US? I’ve heard about this. You really don’t need to pull them if they’re not an issue. No other country does that. Here they take them out if they grow in wrong or if you don’t have enough space and they’re squashing the other teeth, but never ‘just in case’.

          Oh wow then I’m gonna surprise you. It’s a private clinic in Hungary and the wisdom teeth surgery is done at general hospital, so they don’t benefit from this financially at all.
