You might be able to return to work the same day, but only for minor activities, depending on the type of work you do and how tough the surgery was. You will be urged to take the remainder of the day off after your treatment because it is typically not advised for a number of reasons.If you are having all four of your wisdom teeth pulled, we advise that you take the next day off of work or schedule the treatment for the week’s end so you have the weekend to heal. A responsible adult will be needed to take you home after the procedure, monitor you, and provide care for you in the early stages of your recovery if you are having your wisdom teeth removed under intravenous (conscious) sedation or general anaesthesia. You will not be able to go back to work the same day.
