Question

I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled Friday. Will I be okay to work on Saturday?

Answer 1

I don't know which teeth you're getting pulled out but I remember getting my wisdom teeth remove..and it was SO PAINFUL for 2-3 days. If you can handle the pain well then go to work and take some pain killers for it. Otherwise stay home, take painkillers and sleep it off.

Answer 2

NO WAY!! I had mine pulled on Thursday and let me tell you I still hurt today! The worst day was the day after and the next day... I guess it depends if they are impacted or not. Your dentist will probably tell you take it easy for about 2 days so you can heal and control all bleeding. You will be in pain if you do to much and you could run the risk of getting dry socket which is VERY PAINFUL, you do not want dry socket. Take a few days off if you can, you probably won't like working anyway! Good luck!

Answer 3

yah its your teeth not your actual body

Answer 4

it depends on how your body handles it all.

i was on vicodin and couldnt do anything but sleep on the couch.  my friend's face swelled up and she looked like a chipmonk, but she wasnt in pain so she went to work.  some people have no problems whatsoever.

just bring pain meds just to be safe.  and if you have a freezer at work, keep an ice pack in case you start swelling

Answer 5

you'll be okay, but you might have to go throughout the day in pain.
