You can usually go back to work the next day.

depends what work you do, if its front line retail for example, talking may hurt so I'd take time off, if its office stuff, as long as its not too demanding- ie faced paced, you can just take (strong) pain killers and work fine. But most painkillers that work have something in them that makes you drowsy or slow which is why if your work is quite complex and demanding its not really a good idea.

you will definitely need at least 2 days off and it depends on your insurance if u need to pay or not.my copay was 400$

probably just the day its done. do you have to pay... idk bout that.

its available on the nhs if you are registered with a nhs dentist.

depending on the physical characteristics of your mouth and wether there are any complications you will need anything from 3 days onwards off, but more likely to be a week or so.

either way its a major extraction and shouldn't be taken lightly
(sorry to scare you)

no you need to take time off. i had mine out and i got so swollen i had to take four days out of school.

You would want to take the next day or two off after you have it done.

The dentist will want you in bed for the next day or so after and they will give you some serious medication that you shouldn't operate a vehicle while on. You'll also be pretty miserable for the next three or more days afterwards also.

I dont understand the second part.

Try and do the surgery on a friday so you have the weekend to recover and maybe take monday off

stay off the day its done and if your working i am affraid you pay.tough old world but sure you will be wiser now ha ha.

I think the length of time needed to recuperate varies from person to person. I was back at work the next day and hardly needed the pain relievers I was given.

As for whether your NHS will cover it, I think you'd have to look that up on their Web site. My extraction was covered by insurance.

If you are getting all out at same time, then time off may be required. But if it is only 1, then time off shouldn't be required, although I would take the rest of the day you get the tooth out off. It probably varies depending on each person and how the extraction went, however.

I had to pay when I got mine done on NHS - unless you are exempt from NHS charges, there will be some charge on the work, but this is usually less than if you are a private dental patient.

Anyone I've known to get 4 done at once have gone to hospital to get it done, so if it is a hospital job, there may not be the charge, but I don't klnow - I got all mine out on 4 separate occassions. Best to ask your dentist.
