No rule against it: But, as always, one should use common sense. If something seems fine to do, still avoid doing it excessively. If it seems like one should hold off or do something more gently, follow that instinct. There is no requirement to kiss ion a particular way on a particular day after oral surgery or tooth extraction... things can usually wait.

Extraction: An extraction is a small surgical procedure in your mouth. It can be an open wound for a week or so. Let the wound heal before any strenuous activity.
