Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / May 2006Wisdom tooth extraction
I am going to have my wisdom teeth removed in the next few months. If I have them out on, let's say a Wednesday or Thursday, typically, would I be able to return to work the following Monday?

I wouldnt be very bashful abou asking for hydrocodone, though. I remember that helping. If I had to g to school, then you must go to work. -- Administrato > David Moran Wrote: >> I am going to have my wisdom teeth removed in the next few months.

You haven't stated how many teeth are being extracted at once; whether they are erupted or impacted, etc. If it's one or two erupted teeth, you are likely to be able to return to work the next day. If there are 4 deeply horizontal impacted wisdom teeth being extracted at once, I'd let my boss know it could be a few days. Asking the surgeon who knows the details will be helpful in this case. Good luck, Steve >> I am going to have my wisdom teeth removed in the next few months.

Soft diet for a few days, since you won't want chewy stuff on either side. YMMV, Steve >> I'm having all 4 done and they're all erupted. >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > YMMV, > Steve That's kind of what I thought. I'm employed as a mathematician so I'm probably not going to want to look at numbers or equations for a few days :). Thanks!

It of course depends on how difficult the surgery. ie. impactions, depth, size, etc... What is your employ? That will be a big consideration. If you model lipsstick, probably not. If you are a clerk typist, probably yes.  SignatureChristopher A. Young You can't shout down a troll. You have to starve them. . I am going to have my wisdom teeth removed in the next few months.
