I had all four of mine out in college because I was feeling pain every time I played the horn. I waited just as long as I possibly could and then I ended up having to play a concert with American in Paris on it while having awful pain. Right after the concert (the next morning) I went and had them removed. I was off the horn for almost a week. But it was worth it to be able to play again with no pain. Just follow your dentist's advice and stay off the horn until you're sufficiently healed that your stitches won't come out when you play. I'd say that after the first week it's all good news. Good luck!
