After oral surgery to remove wisdom teeth, the recovery period typically lasts for several days to a week, during which time you should rest and avoid any strenuous activity. The specific time when you can return to work or school after oral surgery on your wisdom teeth depends on a few factors such as the extent of the surgery, your overall health, and your ability to manage any post-surgical discomfort. In general, most people can return to work or school within 2-3 days after the procedure. It’s important to follow your surgeon’s instructions carefully to ensure a smooth and speedy recovery from oral surgery.
