Wisdom teeth may be a serious health condition

If your doctor takes you off from work for four days and prescribes medication, or there are complications, you might be eligible for FMLA leave.

FMLA applies to 50 employees within a 75 mile radius. If this criteria is satisfied, you may be entited to federal FMLA leave. I am not licensed in your state yet. So, I can't advise you on any state claims you may have. Contact a lawyer immediately. If you have trouble finding one, just yell. Of course, in order to receive legal advice you can use, you should have a personal interview with a lawyer. The comments I have made are general and may or may not apply to your situation.
