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. :(

        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.

        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.

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

    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.

    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.

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

      That’s definitely a reasonable choice. Luckily my friend have decided to sell the tickets instead since my other friend can’t go either.

    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.

      Damn opposites attract? Really interesting to hear that everyone has a different experience about wisdom teeth surgery.

      Thank you for the advice! Luckily I didn’t need to decide, since my friend is fine to sell the tickets, because she can even profit from those a bit.

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

        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 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?

      It would have been a hungarian alt rock concert. Esti Kornél is the band’s name.

    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.

    You honestly will probably have a bad experience at the concert and it’ll just sour everything for you. If this were maybe a week after I’d say go for it, but 24 hours isn’t enough time and you’ll probably still be in some serious pain while also feeling like crap.

    Take the raincheck and get some rest! They’ll always be more concert dates!

      Yeah that’s why I’m really hesitant. I already fucked my ear with tinnitus and other stuff after going swimming when my earwas still in recovery stage.

    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.
