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.

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.

This is how you get a dry socket

Yup, and you don’t want dry socket. When i had my wisdom teeth pulled, i read up on them… made sure to stay 100% still for 1 week 👀

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?

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.

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.

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.

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’.

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.

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.
