A member asked:

Today i had several teeth removed under a general anesthetic how long till me and my partner can make love again, is it best to wait a while?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

There should: be no issue as long as you feel fine, but I would wait until your follow up appointment to make sure everything is healing well.

Up to you: Whenever you feel like it. There is nothing about your anesthetic that prevents that.
