Doctors! what activities should not be done after getting your wisdom teeth removed?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
After surgery: Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive standing or heavy lifting. Anything that will increase your heart rate or BP can lead to more bleeding. It would be best to be able to relax and rest for 24-48 hours after the wisdom teeth are removed. Drink plenty of fluids, take your medication as directed and eat softer food. Surely your dentist will provide some post op instructions, follow them!

Exercise: Nothing that will increase your blood pressure that could lead to loss of the clot. Also, not a lot of bending over and lifting heavy objects.
