Im having 7 teeth pulled at one time. That's right 7 four of them are my wisdom teeth and 2 of them have to be cut out and then Im having 3 other teeth. How long will I need to take off from work?

This varies from person to person, but I would plan for about a week off to be on the safe side. You can always come back early if things go well for you.

I will agree, with J9 I would plan for a week but it may be likely if you heal fast and have a tolerance for pain you can go back sooner.

I knew somebody that had all there teeth removed, because of a gum disease. Even had to go in for more surgeries.

I agree with the others. Give it a week anyway. I am sure they will pump you up with freezing and give you pain killers.

Thanks guys I prob. Will take a week off I know I will get drugs but at my job I have to have a straight head so if I work I won't be able to take them.

I think a week is safe. I had five pulled in one sitting. Four wisdoms and one that went bad. I was out of work for two days.

Like it was said before plan a week, you can always go back early.

Remember NO straws or Smokies... or other sucking activities. Dry socket is the worst pain in the world..
