Tooth Extraction: Each extraction is different... some are quite simple, others are more complex with removal of bone, soft tissue flaps, and sutures. Since there is no one answer to cover all extractions, why not call your dental surgeon who extracted the tooth and ask for their advice? Usually you can return to all activities when the wound has healed.
