Hello CF ,
Sorry I could check your message earlier in my case it was wisdom tooth on lower side & it was quite complicated because of its angle,position etc
after removal I wasnt able to work properly for 2 weeks,usually I dont take painkillers but this time I was hogging them like candies.
Things improve after your stitches are removed (in my case it was after a week ) thankfully I m not flying at the moment. If someone is in active flying duty I would tell them to be mentally ready for a 2 week deal with lot of painkillers.

Regards,
Ikarus
