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 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.

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

There will definitely be stitches but luckily my friend has decided to sell the tickets instead since my other friend can’t go either and because of my situation. Thank you though!

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…)

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

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.

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.

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

That’s definitely a reasonable choice. Luckily my friend have decided to sell the tickets instead since my other friend can’t go either.

Just had mine pulled out a couple weeks ago at nearly 40. Mine was rough as one was still partially buried in the gums and the dentist remarked about how deep my roots went. Pain and jaw soreness was rough for a couple days but bearable. I could only eat soft stuff like scrambled eggs and barely open my mouth.

Alternatively, my wife just had hers pulled and her dentist told her she had the smallest wisdom teeth he’d ever seen and she had less pain and a speedier recovery.

Bottom line is that it depends on your specific teeth. You might be fine but you’ll probably be hungry and sore.

Damn opposites attract? Really interesting to hear that everyone has a different experience about wisdom teeth surgery.

Thank you for the advice! Luckily I didn’t need to decide, since my friend is fine to sell the tickets, because she can even profit from those a bit.
