Varies: Really depends on the difficulty of the extraction, if surgery is required, and if you are on narcotic pain meds afterwards. There is no one specific number to fit all scenarios. If on narcotics, you may be dizzy and more prone to losing your balance while lifting, possibly causing harm to yourself or others. Discuss with your surgeon after the procedure.
