Had a lower right one removed about 3 years ago under local anaesthetic. Took the surgeon half an hour to get it out after breaking it into pieces. Gum stitched up and sent home. Surgeon assured me "You can fly in 48 hours no problem!" A Billy Bull****ter.... I looked like a puffer fish next morning, even my neck was bruised. Liquid diet (soup) for 2+ days, no way I could have flown safely after that. Plus I was prescribed inadequate pain relief (Sodium Diclofenac....oh come on....) Thankfully I had some spare Tramadol at home!
You'll need a week off.
