Yes and no: After extraction, you want to stay away from heavy exercise and strenuous activity if it is a simple extraction then probably yes if it is a surgical extraction then probably no the main complications with extraction site is dry socket and bleeding heavy exercise can cause excessive bleeding.

Curtail stenuous act: If you raise your blood pressure too much after an extraction you can cause bleeding and are more prone to getting a "dry socket".
