wisdom teeth
My surgeon says I'll be out for a week. I don't have a week. I can deal with pain, how long should I give myself before I can go back to work? All 4 need to be extracted and one of them is really deep in there.

I had 2 impacted wisdom teeth removed at once. Had mine done on a Saturday...had softball practice that afternoon and a game on sunday. I didn't miss a thing and had 0 pain. I didn't even need to take any painkillers. I went to Dr Lavinio. He's in Staten Island but it's well worth the trip.

Had mine removed when I was 16. They gave me pain medication and I remember my mouth/jaw being sore for a few days but I've had worse pain from migraines. Would probably depend on your pain tolerance and how much they have to dig around to remove the teeth.

I had all four done at once, and returned work the next day. The day I had surgery I came home and was out of it for hours.

New question:
What type of anesthesia did you guys do? He is suggesting Novocaine, gas, and IV. I think I can do without the IV. Thoughts?

Why is that? I was thinking I'd stick to Ibuprofin to treat the swelling. I have alot home and to be honest, Vicodin makes me constipated.

I still can't, for the life of me, figure out why my oral surgeon kept insisting I would be out of commission for a week. What a clown.

Some people are, and he has to give you worst case. Just like how some people get that nerve cut and talk like Sly Stallone. Not typical in the least, but worst case.

It's annoying because I asked for the procedure to be done today, but he said no because I would definitely be out of commission for a week. Not worst case scenario, but definite. Oh well. Now I know not to listen to him next time.
And who knows, maybe mine is especially bad or I will take it poorly and be out of commission for a week.

I had all four out at once and most were fairly deep but I was fine the next day, just had a day of soft foods. And I got the needle.

Unless you are a special case you should spring back fast.

Do you really mean, unless I am a ninny?
I guess you are right. I'll do it on a day I can give myself the following day off anyway. Thanks guys.

Nah. Unless your wisdom teeth are really impacted or some other odd situation.

yeah, I am more realistic than to think that my tooth is that much further impacted than everyone else who posted here.

The reason he wants you out of commission is because your blood tends to clot where the tooth/teeth were removed, and if it breaks loose, the clot can travel to your heart or brain. I had a tooth yanked, and with my physically-demanding job, he told me "absolutely, positively NO WORK for one week" because of this reason. Hopefully this clarifies it for you.

To your first question: I had all four removed and all of them were impacted. I had the surgery on a Thursday and was back at work on Monday (what they recommended I do). I didn't have any major pain the days I was out. But once I went back to work, the pain set in and it felt like I was hit in the face with a bat.
To your second question: They gave me everything. When I got home, I spent the rest of the day throwing up. Out of everything, that was the worst part for me.
