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. :(

      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.

        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.

      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.

    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.

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

    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?

    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 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.

    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.

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

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