I'm sick and am getting my wisdom teeth pulled out tomorrow...should I reschedule?

So my wisdom teeth are impacted and I am going to be put to sleep but I'm not feeling well. I have a sore throat [maybe strep], runny and conjested nose, and an ear infection. A few people have told me to reshedule, but I'm not sure. Help ASAP!

Yes, you should definitely reschedule. While under anesthesia you need to be able to breathe well, but since you have a congested nose you wouldn't really be able to. I'm sure the doctor wouldn't go through with the surgery anyway knowing you were sick. And since you're already sick, you have a weaker immune system that won't help you heal afterwards. Believe me, if you're already feeling miserable, you certainly don't want to have your teeth pulled right now. Absolutely reschedule.





I hope you feel better soon. :)
Reply:The dentist knows very well about such cases and I guess you cannot continue with the wisdom tooth removal especially if you are sick and have fever...





At least that's what the dentist said to me back when I was still about 7 years old.

Reply:it is very hurtful and not cool but once you get done thats it
Reply:I would see if I could reschedule.
Reply:phone the dentist and ask for his advise. as far as I know they will give you one look and reschedule, so make that phone call and put your mind at ease.
Reply:They won't do it if your sick, I had mine pulled and didn't get put to sleep, but they asked if I was sick and said if I was they wouldn't do it.
Reply:I just had mine out today and I'm sick, but I was only sedated heavily. They seemed more concerned if I had chest congestion rather than a snotty nose.


I would call them first thing tomorrow and ask them. They might still do it, but they might want to reschedule.


Good luck!
