Possibly: Most extractions do not have post operative complications. Excessive pain, bleeding, or swelling are indications that you should take the day off. See how you feel in the morning.

Probably: This is a decision to be made between you and your Dentist. Most extractions do not have complex healing problems. If your extraction was straight forward, you should be fine. If it was a complex surgical extraction you may have some healing issues. Call your Dentist for advice.
