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.

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 honestly will probably have a bad experience at the concert and it'll just sour everything for you. If this were maybe a week after I'd say go for it, but 24 hours isn't enough time and you'll probably still be in some serious pain while also feeling like crap.

Take the raincheck and get some rest! They'll always be more concert dates!

I had mine out when I was like 18 on a Friday and I hosted a house party the following Saturday/Sunday. They gave me pain pills so I wasn't even uncomfortable.

Just don't smoke weed/anything really, don't suck dick. Don't use a straw. Or do anything that creates suction in your mouth. Then only do what you feel up to.

Although I've gone to concerts in a wheelchair after internal surgery so I might just have a high pain tolerance and a low FOMO-tolerance

Just change your dentist's appointment man. Don't wait till you are there to ask. The sooner the better.

Why type of concert? Will you be sitting the whole time or will there be mosh pits?

Oh wow. I was in no position to attend jack. I was high on painkillers with stuff shoved in my mouth. I think you’ll have a miserable time if you attend both.

I felt fine the day after getting mine pulled.

Lots of ibuprofen and Tylenol for the pain (not both at the same time IIRC) but other than the risk of getting elbowed in the face I don’t see any problems.

What’s the concert anyway?

Don't do it. There will be other concerts, but you only have wisdom teeth surgery once. See if you can sell your ticket to someone who would love to go but didn't get a ticket.

I had no problems at all doing something similar. Looked like a chipmunk, but was in no pain. Had an awesome time!

This is how you get a dry socket

You're probably not going to have a good time at the concert. Also, do not use a straw to drink anything, dry socket is not something you want to experience.

Just had mine pulled out a couple weeks ago at nearly 40. Mine was rough as one was still partially buried in the gums and the dentist remarked about how deep my roots went. Pain and jaw soreness was rough for a couple days but bearable. I could only eat soft stuff like scrambled eggs and barely open my mouth.

Alternatively, my wife just had hers pulled and her dentist told her she had the smallest wisdom teeth he'd ever seen and she had less pain and a speedier recovery.

Bottom line is that it depends on your specific teeth. You might be fine but you'll probably be hungry and sore.

I had to take codeine for a week after getting just one removed and I was absolutely out of it. So, your mileage may vary.

I don't imagine something bad will happen. But you should absolutely push back the surgery date. You'll still be in a lot of pain the next day. And I doubt they'll change the concert date for you.

When I had my wisdom teeth out, whatever they gave me for pain made me really out of it, but I barely felt anything. About 3 days after, a friend wanted to go to a movie and I stupidly agreed. I didn't take the pain meds, and about 1/3 of the way in the pain came back and it was awful. Luckily I was smart enough to bring the meds and took them before it wore off completely, but it was pretty miserable.

Long story short, your mileage may vary, but I'd recommend not going to the concert. Or if it's someone you really want to see, rescheduling the surgery.

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.

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.

Do you have angled roots? If yes, the surgery will probably take a while and you will totally not be in the mood for the concert anyway.

If you instead have tiny roots, they just have to cut the gums a bit and the tooth will pop out. Worst case of going to the concert would be bleeding? Take some gauze balls with you to put on the cut if that happens.

In my experience, you can go on concert in same day.

I didn't go to a concert after getting mine out, but I was up for anything the next day. I was amazed at the lack of pain, I never felt a thing from the surgery. The worst part about it was having to watch what I ate and taking care of the extraction area for a few weeks. It's different for everyone, but it might not be bad for you at all.

Edit: I had all 4 removed at once, they were impacted, and I was under anesthesia as well.

I did this right before Mayhemfest 2010. Asked my doctor if it was OK. His advice was just, don't get punched in the face and remember that you will get drunk faster on antibiotics.

Personally, I had 6 wisdom teeth removed and was perfectly fine that same evening. If you feel up to it then it should be fine, but don't push it if you still feel the need to rest.

I had all 4 of them extracted at once and didn’t really have issues. Just had to be careful when eating. Cheeks were a bit swollen but not much and not too much pain. So in my case it would be doable. However I see that a lot of people here have different experiences so it might really depend on how difficult they are to extract and other factors.
