Wisdom tooth and jogging

kali55

Hi Ladies! I had a wisdom tooth pulled on Thursday of last week.  It was uneventful, my mouth was frozen and the tooth was pulled out in less than 5 minutes, no swelling. 

My question is, when would I be able to start running again?  If you have had your wisdom teeth removed, how long did you wait until you began jogging or running again?

I'd ask your dentist.. The last thing you want to do is dislodge the clot forming in there and get dry socket.. Not sure if running can cause that lol, but trust me when I say dry socket is not fun. At all. Worst pain ever!!!

I had oral surgery on a Wednesday, with a lot of swelling.  I took my first run on Saturday afterwards.  This was approved by my surgeon prior to my surgery.
