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.
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.
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. :(
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.
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?
Luckily my friend decided to sell the tickets instead.
It would have been a hungarian alt rock concert. Esti Kornél is the band’s name.
Ah well, enjoy the day to recover then!
Aww, thank you!
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.
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.
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’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 had to take codeine for a week after getting just one removed and I was absolutely out of it. So, your mileage may vary.
Just had mine pulled out a couple weeks ago at nearly 40. Mine was rough as one was still partially buried in the gums and the dentist remarked about how deep my roots went. Pain and jaw soreness was rough for a couple days but bearable. I could only eat soft stuff like scrambled eggs and barely open my mouth.
Alternatively, my wife just had hers pulled and her dentist told her she had the smallest wisdom teeth he’d ever seen and she had less pain and a speedier recovery.
Bottom line is that it depends on your specific teeth. You might be fine but you’ll probably be hungry and sore.
Just change your dentist’s appointment man. Don’t wait till you are there to ask. The sooner the better.
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.
Umm, are there gonna be stitches involved? Because you probably shouldn’t be jumping about.
There will definitely be stitches but 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 know it’s disappointing, but that’s good to hear. I didn’t have stitches, but many extractions, and even then the dentist told me to be very gentle with myself so as not to cause the wounds to start bleeding again. Take care, and rest well.
do birds fly? do ducks duck?
This is how you get a dry socket
Why type of concert? Will you be sitting the whole time or will there be mosh pits?
If it’s more of a party than a concert then seriously don’t go for your own safety. You’ll be either woozy or in pain (or both) and you won’t enjoy it.
Now if it’s like a traditional seated concert, that’s probably fine as long as you have someone with you. I would not recommend going out on your own a day after the surgery.
