Can i play sports after a tooth extraction?

Eventually: It depends upon what kind of sports, how long ago was the tooth removed, which tooth, and how much bone had to be removed. Your dentist can give you the best answer..

Sports after extract: Anything activity that causes increased heart rate or blood pressure can cause some oozing from the extraction site. Avoid strenuous activity for 48-72 hours after a tooth extraction.
