I'm considering having my wisdom teeth extracted. Anyone know how long that'll put me out of the bbbj game if they are fully erupted to begin with and there are no complications with recovery?
generally it takes 4-6 weeks to recover from oral surgery. This can very depending on how many teeth you have removed and ones individual healing time. I'm sure your oral surgeon can give you a time to complete healing. You might consider adding a week to that number and another week of CBJ for a little extra margin of safety for yourself. Rushing back into bbbj following oral surgery can increase your chances of exposure and contracting a STD exponentially. Doc
That's exactly my concern--it's basically an open wound and regardless of pain I want to keep myself protected from disease.
6 weeks is a long time to be out of work...I'm either going to have to put it off a few months or maybe offer a special rate while I'm recovering and CBJ-only...
Because they are fully erupted, there will be an open wound (as opposed to impacted teeth, in which the tissue can be sutured closed). A clot will form in the sockets, much like a scab. A "dry socket" occurs if the clot breaks down or is dislodged. This has a higher incidence in women who smoke and/or take oral contraceptives. It will probably take at least 4 weeks for the gums to close over the sockets.
