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.

      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.

    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.

        singing like a madman

        I doubt that you will be able to do that, at least not without causing some bleeding. I couldn’t even open my mouth properly to even eat for about 1-2 weeks. (But I had roots with 90° angles in them, so they had to drill out some of the bone…)

    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.

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

    Oh wow. I was on no position to attend jack. I was high on painkillers with stuff shoved in my mouth. I think you’ll have a miserable time if you attend both.

    Why type of concert? Will you be sitting the whole time or will there be mosh pits?

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

    I don’t imagine something bad will happen. But you should absolutely push back the surgery date. You’ll still be in a lot of pain the next day. And I doubt they’ll change the concert date for you.

    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 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?

    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 had no problems at all doing something similar. Looked like a chipmunk, but was in no pain. Had an awesome time!

    Do you have angled roots? If yes, the surgery will probably take a while and you will totally not be in the mood for the concert anyway.

    If you instead have tiny roots, they just have to cut the gums a bit and the tooth will pop out. Worst case of going to the concert would be bleeding? Take some gauze balls with you to put on the cut if that happens.

    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.
