A member asked:

Hello. i had all four wisdom teeth removed on monday afternoon and wondered how safe it is to take a bath if the surgery was less than 48 hours ago?

OK: If you fell well and not dizzy or unsteady, you can take a bath. I would avoid extremely warm water, staying in too long exotic bath salts or other extremes.
