RE: Wisdom teeth removal

I had my top 2 wisdom teeth removed in the dentist's chair 3 years ago. The first one stapped off and he had to spend 10 minutes trying to dig the root out. The second one popped out in less than a minute. Needless to say the recovery time was very different for both sides of my mouth. The one which snapped off took months to recover (all I could eat was soup for 2 weeks and I didn't lose a pound!) but the other was fine within 3 days. I think if both had have come out easily I would have been back to practice well within a week but thanks to the digging around in my gum I couldn't blow for 3 weeks. I was beginning to think I would never heal. Just do what the dentist says but if he/she offers no advice I would guess you'll be able to tell when you are healed well enough to return to practice. I wouldn't rush things though, it is better to be a little cautious.
