A member asked:
Is it okay to play sports 2 days after wisdom teeth extraction surgery?
7 doctors weighed in across 4 answers
Probably best: To wait for a few days to make sure everything heals well. Mother nature is on her own agenda - so don't rush her - that can result in pain and other complications and further delay healing.

Depends: If you are feeling fine, then yes. If you are on pain killers which have the ability to impair you and affect concentration then you should avoid sports.

Depends: The answer may depend upon the type of sport you want to play, how involved your wisdom tooth surgery was (erupted teeth vs impacted), and whether or not you are still requiring pain medication. The best advice would be to ask your dentist or surgeon who performed your surgery for a definitive answer.

The simple formula : Restrict your activities the day of surgery and resume normal activity when you feel comfortable. Hope it helps.
