Will i be able to go to work the day after having a wisdom tooth pulled?

Depends: Your surgeon should be able to give you a good idea. Really depends on how complicated the tooth removal will be.

Usually Yes: If you are 40, healing will be slower than if you are 20, but with tylenol (acetaminophen) or advil / Motrin / Ibuprofen you should be comfortable enough to go to work, as long as you are not a woodwind musician or wine taster.
