We recommend that kids take off at least two or three days from school, work, extracurriculars, and other activities. Once they are okay to return to their daily routine, they should still avoid doing anything too strenuous for another couple of days, as this can disturb the blood clot in the socket and disrupt the healing process. They may also want to continue eating soft foods for a while just to put as little pressure on the healing area as possible.
