A member asked:

I'm wondering how long should i wait to play flute after i get teeth extracted?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Depends on which tooth or teeth were removed and the difficulty of the extraction, your general health condition, were sutures placed, etc. Usually 1 to 2 weeks to allow for good, un disturbed blood clot formation, but, to be on the safe side, talk to the dentist or oral surgeon who extracted your teeth.
