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.

[–] McBinary@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

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. :(

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ohh sad to hear that. Was the root pretty big?

[–] iNeedScissors67@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] knatsch@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Mine was just a minor issue afterwards, totally could have gone to a concert a day later.

[–] jiji@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

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.

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

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Weazel@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Molotov@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

Just change your dentist's appointment man. Don't wait till you are there to ask. The sooner the better.

[–] Royalish@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Why type of concert? Will you be sitting the whole time or will there be mosh pits?

[–] knova@links.dartboard.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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?

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Luckily my friend decided to sell the tickets instead.

It would have been a hungarian alt rock concert. Esti KornΓ©l is the band's name.

[–] knova@links.dartboard.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah well, enjoy the day to recover then!

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

Aww, thank you!

[–] Anonymoose@infosec.pub 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Anonymoose@infosec.pub 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Good call man, get well soon!

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

Aww thank you!

[–] rubikfrog@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] atocci@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Dr_Middy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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!

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] ribboo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I had no problems at all doing something similar. Looked like a chipmunk, but was in no pain. Had an awesome time!

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

Did you have any serious consequences after that?

[–] KeefChief12@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

This is how you get a dry socket

[–] TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Oh wow. I was on no position to attend jack. I was high on painkillers with stuff shoved in my mouth. I think you’ll have a miserable time if you attend both.
