“Can I drive after having a wisdom tooth pulled?”
I'm going to have my second wisdom tooth pulled, and I'm aware that anesthesia is going to be used. Can I drive after having a wisdom tooth pulled?

If you are going to have sedation, you will need someone else to safely drive you home.
Yes. You will be numb from an hour to three hours. Go home, get comfortable as much as possible and apply plenty of ice for as long as you can stand it. After 2 to 8 hours, you will have less pain. You might not have less swelling.
Absolutely not, it would be driving under the influence. You must have an escort with you when being sedated or put to sleep for any procedure.
