Re: Wisdom teeth removal, when will I be able to play again?

I gave myself a week to recover, although I was prepared to go out and play the same evening I had them removed after I had a good snooze. The worst part was the local anaesthetic as they initially didn't give me enough and I had to be topped up during the procedure. That happened both times! Local anaesthetics don't seem to work that well on me.

Give yourself all the time you feel you need to recover and use Corsodyl or similar mouthwash to help with the recovery. You should be back playing from one to two weeks tops if all has gone well. The sharp edges of the empty sockets you will feel under your gums will soon be smoothed down by your body's own miniature construction team (osteoblasts and osteoclasts - they remove and rebuild bone instead of leaving things rough).

And stay away from nuts, rice, pulses, granola or any other kind of 'bitty' foods as bits will get into the empty sockets and aren't easy to remove once they get in there. I had a carton of yoghurt for my dinner after having my wisdom teeth out.
