Can I do housework and errands after having two wisdom teeth removed?

This Thursday, I will be having my top two wisdom teeth removed because I just can’t stand the pain no longer. The only thing is this: I’m a wife who stays home and does a lot of house chores, but I heard that I probably wouldn’t be able to do so.

Would I be able to cook supper, and do housechores while recovering from having my top wisdom teeth removed? If not, I would like to know so I can get the house cleaned well enough for the husband to keep up with simple things like washing dishes and what not.

Answer #1

Everyone I’ve been around was able too, But honestly It depends on how your dentist does it and how YOU react too all of the pain.

Answer #2

They say it’s best to just rest for the day after you get your wisdom teeth removed. I remember when I got mine pulled, I just wanted to relax

Answer #3

I got all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed at once and was anesthetized for the procedure, and took about 3-4 hours before I was even able to function (short term memory was not hooking up).and about 1 day until I was getting around.

Call your dentist and ask him/her what to expect. I would expect you to take it easy for a day if you get twilight or general anesthesia. if local, then probably a half day of rest if possible.

Good Luck!!
