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.
Same, I had all 4 extracted and the next day I wasnβt happy but depending on the concert I probably would have been ok the next night.
Ohh sad to hear that. Was the root pretty big?
Yeah I had all 4 of them removed and mine were growing in horizontally instead of vertically, pushing the rest of my teeth. 0/10 experience.
Just change your dentist's appointment man. Don't wait till you are there to ask. The sooner the better.
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 donβt see any problems.
Whatβs the concert anyway?
Luckily my friend decided to sell the tickets instead.
It would have been a hungarian alt rock concert. Esti KornΓ©l is the band's name.
Ah well, enjoy the day to recover then!
Aww, thank you!
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.
Yeah I've passed onto the concert and I've had the surgery like 2 days ago. Fuck it's really painful, that's for sure.
Good call man, get well soon!
Aww thank you!
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
Thanks for the advice! I was mainly thinking if jumping and singing like a madman would create severe problems.
I absolutely admire your commitment ngl.
This is how you get a dry socket
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.
Is codeine a painkiller? Thank you for the info though!
Yeah, it's an opiate. This was a while ago, and I suspect it's probably not routinely given out now as it was then. But basically in a lot of pain and the drugs floored me. But really I think it depends on how impacted the tooth is, and what they need to do to remove it. So it's different for everyone.
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 don't imagine something bad will happen. But you should absolutely push back the surgery date. You'll still be in a lot of pain the next day. And I doubt they'll change the concert date for you.
That's definitely a reasonable choice. Luckily my friend has decided to sell the tickets instead since my other friend can't go either and because of my situation. Thank you though!
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.
Wow that must have been a lucky streak! 4 removal and no pain.
Yeah super lucky! I don't know what happens during the extraction process but I guess the oral surgeon really knew his stuff.
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.
