Getting wisdom teeth extracted worried about missing college?!


Question: ...the two lower wisdom teeth. they are not impacted, but my dentist wants them out. I am getting it done on a monday at 1:30, and have class the next day. I am not worried about the surgery, but will I have to miss any class? I don't want to fall too far behind since I'm taking pre-med classes.

I had my lower wisdom teeth removed. They were impacted and surrounded by cysts. It was painful but I could have gone to work. I think you should be okay to go to class, But I would let the instructor know. Then they can be sure not to call on you or other stuff. Plus if you show up they will see how dedicated you are. Everyone is different. You may be just fine!

Get with your instructors. They understand things like this happen. Or if you aren't having any pain, call the dentist and see if if can be re-scheduled or can it wait until spring break? Good Luck and God Bless

When i got mine removed, I was fine as soon as the drugs wore off... No pain or swelling, I think if you keep up with the medication they perscribe you should be fine. I also had the 2 lower removed and they were not impacted either.

I had this done last spring break. It really didn't hurt as bad as I thought it would, I just couldn't speak because of the gauze pads in the back of my mouth. Also, all I could eat for 3 days was pudding and cheese, extremely soft foods. I really had no pain unless I opened my mouth but other than that I felt fine. If there were school I only would have taken the day they came out off and have a note stateing that I couldn't speak.
