Do you lose weight after getting your wisdom teeth pulled?

Only if: Only if it prevents you from eating, but your reduced food intake would only be for a few days. If you need to lose weight, consider take shape for life, to find a free health coach near you.

Temporary: May have a temporary weight loss due to post-op pain for a few days. Make sure your wisdom teeth are removed by an oral surgeon.
