Limit activity: It is important to limit your activity to prevent swelling and promote healing. If you are being sedated. You should plan on resting the remainder of the day. The better you take care of yourself, the quicker it will heal.

Sleeping & Resting: Limit your strenuous activites until after the extraction would starts to heal, which can vary from patient to patient. Wisdom tooth extracting can be a major surgery depending on how impacted they are, so you need to give your body time to heal.

Rest: First day you can balance your checkbook or watch tv. Nothing that would increase your blood pressure or restart bleeding. Next day depends on you. Listen to your body. In any event, drink plenty of fluids to keep hydrated to help speed healing. Cold packs on 10 off 20 minutes the first eight hours will help reduce swelling. Pre operative ant- inflammatory such as Ibuprofen will also help.
