Doctors : I have another question for you!

6 Jul 2005, 03:04

I have school re-opening next month (August), so i dont think i have time for doing this stuff.

A private dentist has told us that my 4 wisdom teeth would be removed and some of my cavities will be filled. The entire procedure is only going to take half an hour.

Here's the bummer : He's told me that i'll take 4 weeks before braces can be put on my teeth.

So, my question is, if i take this dental procedure AFTER my school re-opens, will it be Ok? i mean, is it completely necessary that i stay at home and take rest, or can i go to school?

Thnkx again,
Sam.

Sam,
1) Only a half hour?!?!?! WOW, this dentist must be Superman!!
2) If removing your wisdom teeth can be done without being too invasive (which depends entirely on the position of the teeth), generally you can resume a normal life the following day. You may need to take pain killers or anti-inflammatory drugs.
If the procedure requires a lot of work, you almost for sure will be swollen and have discomfort....but you will survive!!
Follow your dentist?s recommendation, you will be fine!

If you require more info, just email me directly at jsekler@hotmail.com

Dental piano,
thnkx for the reply. Yes, he said its a very simple procedure and he can finish it in no time. After 4 weeks, he'll put the braces it seems.

Perhaps i should ask him in detail.......

Sam,
It sounds like a lot to do in only half an hour.
You should get the details!!
