How long are you out of work after having a wisdom tooth removed?

Most people, when having all 4 removed with IV sedation, generally have the surgery on a Friday and they are fine to return to work by Monday.  When having only one removed with local anesthetic, most people will only take the day off they are having the procedure done and will return to work the next day.  I personally would not recommend returning to work after any extraction as rest is best.  Whatever you do, just make sure to follow your post-operative instructions the dentist gives to you to avoid a dry socket (and futher pain) after the extraction.

All depends on the difficulity of the extractions. You cant predict one persons healing time or process. Everybody is different. The healthier one self is, the faster the healing. \nOn average, without problems.. average person can be from 1-2 weeks. By 2 weeks definately the swelling should be gone. Until then, i wouldnt freak out just yet. The soreness, will depend on you! You cant strain your mouth, by opening wide or chewing things that are hard and such. This will strain your mouth and jaw, which has just gone through 'tramua'. It takes time, to heal. \nBe patient... your well into your recovery... things will be better soon.

Torus Mandibularis is what you have.  Yes I am familiar with them as many people have them, it is more commen then you think.  Removing them can be a pain, but with the proper treatment you will be fine.  Usually after removal, the healing takes about 6-8 weeks for the swelling to go down and the tissue to heal.  How much bone removal depends on how the dentist wants your partial to fit in relation to your maxillary teeth.  Your dentist may or may not do extractions the same day as he works on your tori, depends on the dentist. You will be under the weather and sore for several days, so I would def. take it easy.  Your doc will prob. give you some type of pain killer, so don't drive while you are taking this as many of them can make you sleepy.  Follow his instructions exactly so you can get the fastest healing time.  Def. don't smoke or drink alcohol during this time.  Have you asked your dentist about implants?  If you haven't you should.  They can be a great thing depending on your dental needs.  good luck.

You don't need any antibiotics if the tooth has been removed. The dentist probably gave you these as a precaution, however, if the tooth which was infected was removed, then the infection is gone. As long as you follow the instructions from the dentist as far as not eating on that side of your mouth for 24 hrs, no smoking for 24 hrs (which you shouldn't be doing anyways since you're pregnant), no rinsing your mouth for 24 hrs, and no drinking through a straw, you should be fine. And for extraction site pain, you can usually cut it with 2 extra strength tylenols. If that doesn't work, try combining the tylenol with motrin or advil (you can do this b/c they both do different things). Otherwise, consult your dentist.

you can go back to limited activity within 3 to 5 days.\nyou can go back to full activity within one week.\nthis answer is conditional with no other problem coming along the way after the operation,cause any problem delays recovery.

Oral surgeons usually just sedate you. They don't do general anesthesia like a major surgery. You won't remember anything but you will need a ride home and someone to keep an eye on you all day. You also won't have to have a tube down your throat or anything like that when you are sedated. If you are having all four wisdom teeth out and if they are impacted, I would take the sedation. If they are all erupted, you could go for the local anesthetic. Just remember, you will have about 10 or 12 injections in your mouth to get you numb. So if you are afraid of needles, you should go the sedation route. That way, you get one in your arm for your IV and then they will numb your mouth up once you are asleep. Also, even though you are numb when you are awake, there are a lot of strange noises and A LOT of pressure. If I were you, I would take the sedation. Your surgeon should have discussed this with you at your consult.

Smoking is not good but ok 48 hours after an extraction (or 2 days).  It's been 7... your good!

I had my two bottom wisdom teeth pulled a while back and if your not in a lot of pain now, its only going to get better. They gave you some Vicodin right? just take that until you feel like you can be OK without them. After like three days you should be able to eat normal food again. If you have any concerns about it, all you have to do is call up your dentist and ask them about it. they will gladly help ya.

It depends on the person and the type teeth that are being removed. The more difficult the tooth extraction then, proportionally, the greater the probability of post-operative pain. Psychologically, it does feel just like much pushing and shoving during the procedure, but if it does hurt, tell the surgeon, as some inflamed and infected teeth take a little more to anaesthetise.\nAs for the person, different people have different reactions. I had my two lower impacted teeth removed under local. They needed to be sectioed, or cut, to be removed, but it didn't hurt. I was up and studying within two hours - pretty stupid really, as I should have milked the sympathy!\nTwo tips may be of benefit, though:\n(1) Take pain relief about 30 mins after procedure, while you are still numb - it makes the transition out of anaesthesia much smoother, and aids healing, as the less pain you're in the quicker you will heal\n(2) Try to relax best you can before, during and after the procedure - the more relaxed you are, the better anaesthesia works, and the better that works, the better the procedure for you, during and after the procedure.\nRemember, not all wisdom teeth are horror stories! Good luck!

Before I answer your question I just want to state that I am a Dental Technologist not a Dentist. Dental Technologists only make dental prosthesis with a prescription from a Dentist and we do not give out medical advice.  Thus, any comments I make are just personal thoughts and should not be taken as medical advice. So GO TO YOUR DENTIST!!!!!\n\nNow to answer your question, go to a dentist ASPA. It might just be your tooth is impacted and you need your wisdom tooth extracted but it might be something else. For the pain there is not much you can do that is not over the counter other then takes a pain killer

um, we dont really need it.  lol @ the guy above who said that we lose 35% intelligence. \nBut why do u want it removed? \nI had crowding in my teeth, and i got braces. I had to get my 4 wisdom teeth removed. But, you should get it removed one at a time. These are really permanent and deep rooted teeth. Im sure ur dentist would not remove them all at once. I had to get stiches for the removal of 2, it was that hard to get it out. \n\nIf it doesnt create trouble then dont. Do you really want to be stuck with sedative injections in ur gum and then having it being pulled with force if not required? ( and the injections really hurt, when they push the medicine in. They stick u 2-3 times). 2 of my wisdoms removed easy, in about 5 mins of pulling. The other 2 were a real pain. took 30 mins, they had the suction machine to suck the bleeding that was there (it was alot). They drilled it with a machine to split the tooth in 2 pieces as it was deep rooted. The drilling hurt alot, depite the sedative injections they gave. It really hit the core of ur nerve. They then stiched it up. \nAfterwards,  u cant really eat freely for a few days. Your mouth would obviously be swelling alot. And you would have to take anti-biotics tablets to prevent infection. (which means, u could get  and that would be worse case senario).\n\nSo if u dont have a choice, then u dont. If u do, its all a matter of if u want to go through the not very nice proceedure :)

According to the University of Kentucky Transplant Center:\n\n"You should rest during the first few weeks after leaving the hospital. You may find that you tire easily and that there is sensitivity around the surgical scars. Most patients can resume normal activity one month after surgery and can return to work 4 to 6 weeks after surgery."\n\nI lost a fifteen-year-old son because of lack of available organs. Let me please offer you my most humble and grateful appreciation. You are changing the world, and you deserve every blessing that life has to offer.

Everyone heals differently, so there is not a firm answer to this.  Also, what is your definition of "recover"?  You'll be out of the recovery room in a matter of minutes to hours.  There will be swelling and soreness for a week or so.  Full tissue strength after any surgery takes 12 weeks.\n\nCosts vary widely based on location, and by practitioner.  Call some plastic surgeons in your area and ask them.

It can vary from a few days to a week or so. And you may still have sensitivity up to around two weeks later (if it was a difficult extraction or you had impacted wisdom teeth removed for example).

wisdom teeth are nothing but the 3rd molars , and is the last tooth to be errupted in the mouth , it erupts between the age of 17 - 21 years , not every person needs to to be pulled out , it depends whether the wisdom tooth has got suffiecient space for errupting in the space provided by your jaw , when ever there is insufficient space the wisdom tooth gets impacted and gives u pain and some times sweeling and infection of gums around the partly errupted wisdom tooth which is called pericorinitis . so the persons in which wisdom has got impacted, should get their tooth to be extracted .\n\n it doesn't fall out or exfoliate itself as its not a milk tooth , its a permanent tooth which errupts at age of 17 - 21

I work for an oral surgeon and we pull teeth for a living.  If her procedure is a standard one, the actual process should take less than thirty minutes.  The recovery period for each person is different, but we usually say 3 to 5 days.  If she is a tougher person and a fast healer, it may be even sooner.  Did the doctor put her on antibiotics?  He should have.  If she takes them, her risk of infection will dramatically decrease.  Finally, SHE MAY DRINK THROUGH A STRAW.  People that tell you otherwise have absolutely no idea what they are talking about.  Whether or not your friend gets a dry socket, which depending on how you look at it, do not actually exist, has nothing to do with what she drinks through.  I can back that up with experimental and scientific evidence if you need it.  Use ice for the first two days and then switch to heat for the swelling.  Good. luck.

the actual extraction...3 minutes with no complications. plus you must get numb first. then if the tooth breaks...time becomes more of an issure as do sounds and pressure. if you are that nervous.... i would refer you to an oral surgeon and recommend you have sedation. then it wont matter what happens.
