My mums having her wisdom teeth out how long for recovery??

Question

ok well in september my mothere is having her wisom teeth out she has to go into hostipal for the day and go to sleep beacuse shes left it soo long there a 99 percent chance the surgeon will brake her jaw if so how long will the recovry be ? even if she dosent have her jaw broken ??? it says 6 weeks but i was wondering if uve had ur experences

Answer 1

Provided her jaw is not broken, she should recover within a few days to a couple of weeks depending on her age, on whether the tooth can be easily pulled or not, and on her general medical health.

If, however her jaw breaks, then it should take 6 weeks to 2 months to recover again depending on the factors I just mentioned above. Remember, surgery outcomes and patient response can vary widely. Good luck!

Answer 2

she should be fine.  it sounds like she will undergo general anesthesia and that will help her a lot.  she will probably need pain meds for a week or so, but she should be fine.  i had mine taken out in my late 20s and i honestly didn't even need a single pain medication.  i just took ibuprofen!  hope it works out alright for her.

Answer 3

When I had all four of my wisdomm teeth removed I felt like absolute c**p for the entire week following my surgery. I didnt fully recover from it for 2 1/2 weeks. I didnt have my jaw broken though so I dont know how the two would be combined. I have to get my jaw broken by my dental surgeon within the next two years though because I opted out on getting it done at the same time as I got my wisdom teeth removed. I was told it would take about 6 weeks as well so it sounds pretty accurate.

Answer 4

she should start feeling good in a few days...the total heal time may take 6 weeks, but i've had major surgery and it didnt take 6 weeks to recover so i dont think thats correct, ive never heard having to break someones jaw to get teeth out...if my dentist told me that, i think i'd be looking for another dentist

Answer 5

Everybody heals differently. When I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled, I also had a root canal done on one of my front teeth. I went back to work the next day! Even though I felt like garbage!
