I had this done when I was 18 (I am somewhat older now). I recall it as a non-event. About a week off was all. Mine was uncomplicated and took about 20 minutes for three teeth, all came out whole, as opposed to being disintegrated and removed that way. I have had friends who were off about 7-10 days. The mouth heels pretty quickly. The strangest thing I remember was that I was taking woodwinds (in college) at the time and playing clarinet hurt like hell for a month. Don't push it, do what the dentist/oral surgeon says. There are many who are musicians, so if your Dr. can't answer ask for a referral to a musician dentist that can answer the question. Hey, there must be an oral surgeon who is also a tuba player out there somewhere?
