Can you drive after getting your wisdom teeth removed?

Answer 1

People do not all recover from surgery at the same speed; it depends upon your general level of health, and the way you feel. Personally, I could return to work the day after major dental surgery. But your mileage may vary.

Answer 2

It really depends on how you feel. I would certainly say don't plan on going the same day as the surgery - your mouth will be frozen, swollen, and bleeding. Unless you are superman/woman you will be in pain for a few days afterwards. Even though you will have painkillers to manage it, depending on what you take you may also have side effects - my meds left me sleepy and having dizzy spells. Something else to remember is you may end up stuck on a very light diet filled with not the most healthy food (jello, ice cream, pudding, etc.) and not able to drink water/liquids easily (meaning you get a little dehydrated). You may feel too lethargic to work. Anyway...I would try to give yourself at least 3 recovery days (including surgery day) and, if possible, have the option of taking off a 4th.

Answer 3

It depends.

Some people suffer no serious after effects, others do.
