A query.

BDC entry delayed until after my ARTH paper is done, but I have a question for you folks:

For those of you who have had your wisdom teeth out, how long did you need to recover? I'm getting mine out in just over a week, and I need to arrange the taking off from work.

It depends on the number and location of teeth pulled. I took 2 to 3 days to be able to function, but I had only one and it was not in a difficult location. The incisions may not heal completely for a few weeks. Also, upper jaw wisdom teeth are easier to extract (shorter recovery) than lower jaw teeth (not sure why).
