Wisdom teeth?
Some people are back to normal the next day and others take a week. I went back to work 2 days after I had my wisdom teeth pulled - but I have the kind of job where I sit at a desk and don't have to talk much, so it worked out. Also, I had to stop taking the pain medication because usually they give you some strong medicine that you can't drive while taking. So, if you have a desk job and are willing to stop taking the prescribed pain medicine, then you would probably be ok, but not great on Saturday.
Reply:a few days at most...its not that bad
Reply:Yeah, it will be ok, I think! 2 days are needed to heal from this :)...You may be slightly swollen for 1 week...but very slightly!
Reply:It actually depends on how many you need to have pulled, how they've grown in (if they've grown in at all) and also how old you are. Sounds funny, but any dentist will tell you that the longer you wait, the worse it will be.... so the older you are, the worse it will be. Mine were already growing out and I was 18, so I bounced back as soon as I stopped bleeding. My husband on the other hand, waited until they were rotting away and he is almost 30 and a few months later, still has some numbness in his upper jaw.





I don't mean to scare you.... just stating the facts. Good luck! Hope yours goes smooth like mine!
Reply:It differs for different people. It also depends on whether or not the teeth were impacted or just in the way. Also, everyone's bodies react differently to medical procedures.





I felt fine the next day after I had mine out, but my brother was in a lot of pain, had a lot of swelling and took about four days to recover.





Most people I know have recovered in 2-3 days.
Reply:if you have a good dentist you will be fine to go back to work on saturday. I had two of mine pulled (one at a time) and honestly, I felt much better the next day. The spot will be sensitive for a while, and you won't be able to chew on that side. I went back to work the next day after both of mine.
Reply:You should be ok, just make sure you bring your salt water,gause, tylenol, and try to be as antisocial as possible. Usually a person has bad breath until the wounds heal in the back, but make sure to swish with salt water every time you eat to minimize it.
Reply:It depends a lot on how you take care of yourself afterwards. I had all of mine removed before they started coming it. They put me on some different pills for pain and infection. I had penicillin(sp?) pills so it didnt get infected. Me being the kind of forgetful person I am, only took about 2 the first 3 days(i was supposed to take 4 a day) and ended up getting it infected and inflamed around my stitches and where they cut into my gums. that caused me a lot more pain and recovery time than if I had taken better care of myself. So If they give you pills to prevent infection, be sure to take them and you should be fine.
