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.
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.
I learned after my wisdom teeth removal that I’m highly sensitive to Vicodin… I was either high as hell or passed out for the whole week after my surgery. Still miserable when awake too. :(
Mine was just a minor issue afterwards, totally could have gone to a concert a day later.
Same, I had all 4 extracted and the next day I wasn’t happy but depending on the concert I probably would have been ok the next night.
Ohh sad to hear that. Was the root pretty big?
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.
singing like a madman
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…)
Couldn’t disagree, since this will be my first time in terms of wisdom teeth removal. I’m just a summer child about this probably.
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 know it’s disappointing, but that’s good to hear. I didn’t have stitches, but many extractions, and even then the dentist told me to be very gentle with myself so as not to cause the wounds to start bleeding again. Take care, and rest well.
I am not disappointed since I don’t know what to compare it with, so not a problem. Roger that, kind lemmyer!

Luckily in my case it’s only 1 wisdom teeth and it’s roots are really small. There’s no serious misalignment with it.
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.
Can you reschedule the surgery?
That’s definitely a reasonable choice. 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 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.
Ah well, enjoy the day to recover then!
Aww, thank you!
That is probably for the best: Get some rest and recover!
I didn’t go to a concert after getting mine out, but I was up for anything the next day. I was amazed at the lack of pain, I never felt a thing from the surgery. The worst part about it was having to watch what I ate and taking care of the extraction area for a few weeks. It’s different for everyone, but it might not be bad for you at all.
Edit: I had all 4 removed at once, they were impacted, and I was under anesthesia as well.
Wow that must have been a lucky streak! 4 removal and no pain.
Yeah super lucky! I don’t know what happens during the extraction process but I guess the oral surgeon really knew his stuff.
I had mine done in pairs, the first time was one of the worst experiences of my life with weeks of intense pain, and the other was uneventful.
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.
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.
Good call man, get well soon!
Aww thank you!
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!
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.
How about asking to reschedule the dentist?
That’s definitely a reasonable choice. 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!
Do you have angled roots? If yes, the surgery will probably take a while and you will totally not be in the mood for the concert anyway.
If you instead have tiny roots, they just have to cut the gums a bit and the tooth will pop out. Worst case of going to the concert would be bleeding? Take some gauze balls with you to put on the cut if that happens.
I have pretty tiny roots and no serious angle with it. 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 don’t imagine something bad will happen. But you should absolutely push back the surgery date. You’ll still be in a lot of pain the next day. And I doubt they’ll change the concert date for you.
That’s definitely a reasonable choice. 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 had to take codeine for a week after getting just one removed and I was absolutely out of it. So, your mileage may vary.
Is codeine a painkiller? Thank you for the info though!
Yeah, it’s an opiate. This was a while ago, and I suspect it’s probably not routinely given out now as it was then. But basically in a lot of pain and the drugs floored me. But really I think it depends on how impacted the tooth is, and what they need to do to remove it. So it’s different for everyone.
When I got mine removed, recovery was expected to be quick and easy because mine didn’t really even have roots yet. Recovery was neither quick nor easy. My advice is to give yourself the time to recover. You don’t want to be going to the concert while bleeding/in a lot of pain.
That’s definitely a reasonable choice. 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!
In my experience, you can go on concert in same day.
It’s really interesting how the answer types varies for a lot of person. 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!
