Generally, patients need a couple days to recover. It depends on a patient's age, health, and type of wisdom tooth removal.
Yes, you should be able to go back to work the next day.
Yes you can if you would like, depends how tough the tooth extraction is so run it through with your dentist.
Yes, usually with pain management as Rx by the surgeon.
Your mouth may be a little swollen and and it may be a little sore, but yes, you should be able to work the next day.
Generally speaking the answer is YES. As long as your job does not require any heavy lifting you should be good to go. You maybe a bit swollen but you should be able to resume your normal activities.
