Wisdom Teeth

STL2CVG Senior Analyst Cincinnati

Hi Dr,

I've heard when you get your wisdom teeth removed they prescribe you a painkiller. Would this disqualify me? Or is recovering from Surgery acceptable. And what if you have to get them removed while you're already at your facility?

Thanks for your help.

As long as you are in recovery and taking meds you are dyqualified from working. Once recovered, you should be able to work.
