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.

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.

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.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Mine was just a minor issue afterwards, totally could have gone to a concert a day later.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Ohh sad to hear that. Was the root pretty big?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Umm, are there gonna be stitches involved? Because you probably shouldn't be jumping about.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I've passed onto the concert and I've had the surgery like 2 days ago. Fuck it's really painful, that's for sure.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Good call man, get well soon!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Aww thank you!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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?

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Luckily my friend decided to sell the tickets instead.

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

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ah well, enjoy the day to recover then!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Aww, thank you!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Did you have any serious consequences after that?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This is how you get a dry socket

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

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'.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.
