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.

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 wasn’t happy but depending on the concert I probably would have been ok the next night.

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.

[–] Anonymoose@infosec.pub 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good call man, get well soon!

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Aww thank you!

[–] Weazel@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] rubikfrog@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

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?

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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!

This is how you get a dry socket

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.

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Devi@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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'.

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Devi@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

How odd. I still wouldn't if they're not an issue. It's a lot to go through if you don't need it.
