Can I drive after a tooth extraction?

If you’ve had a local anaesthetic, you’ll be able to drive after an extraction. You may however, prefer to arrange a pick-up as you will likely have some discomfort that could distract you while driving. You cannot drive for at least 24 hours if you’ve had a sedation or general anaesthetic.
