A member asked:

Will having a tooth pulled require time off work?

Depends: Depending on the level of difficulty of the extraction you may need to take a day off from work. Ask your dentist what he thinks. Many patients who have an easy extraction go back to work the next day.

It depends: On what you do for work, the difficulty of the extraction and other factors.
