Rest is the foundation of a healthy recovery after any surgical procedure.
Following a tooth extraction, we recommend dedicating at least the first 24 hours to relaxation and avoiding vigorous activity for three to five days to minimize discomfort and prevent complications.
Most patients feel prepared to return to their normal routine after two days of rest.
For many, scheduling the procedure mid-week provides a full weekend for further relaxation and a more comfortable bounce back.
