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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

        US? I’ve heard about this. You really don’t need to pull them if they’re not an issue. No other country does that. Here they take them out if they grow in wrong or if you don’t have enough space and they’re squashing the other teeth, but never ‘just in case’.

          Depending on how they are growing, there is good reason for lots of people to have them removed early.

          If they’re growing in straight, nothing to worry about, just let them go. But if they’re not, they’ll grow sideways, get impacted, fuck up the alignment of your teeth, potentially develop a cyst or bacterial infection, and leave people with permanent jaw alignment disorders.

          It’s not a guarantee that these things will occur, but the idea of preventative medicine is to be better safe than sorry, before it becomes a much harder problem to solve.

          Ultimately I trust what the medical expert advises, and my dentist had advised me to have them removed.
