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.

    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.

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

      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. :(

    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.

    it is vastly different between people (and certainly also a question of how many wisdom teeth are being removed).
    some people brush it off like a regular visit to the dentist. Others are KOd in bed for 3 days while looking like chipmunk and not able to chew. nobody will be able to tell you. Probably, even your surgeon will only be able to hazard an educated guess.

    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’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 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?

    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.
