A member asked:
I'm flying 2 days from now so that will be 5 days in total after my tooth extraction. is this safe for me to take a plane?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually Ok but.....: Flying can be problematic in some instances where the maxillary sinus has been exposed during a dental extraction. This is usually not the case for most extractions so flying is usually ok but you should certainly check with your dentist about your individual situation.
