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.

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 wasnβt happy but depending on the concert I probably would have been ok the next night.
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. :(
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'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.
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 90Β° angles in them, so they had to drill out some of the bone...)
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!
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.
Why type of concert? Will you be sitting the whole time or will there be mosh pits?
If it's more of a party than a concert then seriously don't go for your own safety. You'll be either woozy or in pain (or both) and you won't enjoy it.
Now if it's like a traditional seated concert, that's probably fine as long as you have someone with you. I would not recommend going out on your own a day after the surgery.
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 donβt see any problems.
Whatβs the concert anyway?
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.
Ah well, enjoy the day to recover then!
Aww, thank you!
That is probably for the best: Get some rest and recover!
Oh wow. I was on no position to attend jack. I was high on painkillers with stuff shoved in my mouth. I think youβll have a miserable time if you attend both.
This is how you get a dry socket
Yup, and you don't want dry socket. When i had my wisdom teeth pulled, i read up on them... made sure to stay 100% still for 1 week π
You won't want to attend a concert. Feels miserable for the first few days.
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.
Just had mine pulled out a couple weeks ago at nearly 40. Mine was rough as one was still partially buried in the gums and the dentist remarked about how deep my roots went. Pain and jaw soreness was rough for a couple days but bearable. I could only eat soft stuff like scrambled eggs and barely open my mouth.
Alternatively, my wife just had hers pulled and her dentist told her she had the smallest wisdom teeth he'd ever seen and she had less pain and a speedier recovery.
Bottom line is that it depends on your specific teeth. You might be fine but you'll probably be hungry and sore.
Damn opposites attract? Really interesting to hear that everyone has a different experience about wisdom teeth surgery.
Thank you for the advice! Luckily I didn't need to decide, since my friend is fine to sell the tickets, because she can even profit from those a bit.
Why are you having them out? If it's cause they're causing you pain then you might be better having them out. Pain should be less after even soon.
My dentistrecommended me to pull it out, even though I feel no pain currently. Her reasoning was that probably it could cause pain after a while, so best to pull it out before that happens.

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.
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.
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.
In my experience, you can go on concert in same day.
I had no problems at all doing something similar. Looked like a chipmunk, but was in no pain. Had an awesome time!
Did you have any serious consequences after that?
