I got my wisdom teeth pulled yesterday, 6/9/03. About how long do I have to wait before biking and running again? I suppose I can bike before I can run (no jarring) but does anyone have any idea?

When my stepson has his removed last December he was told no "strenuous" activities for 72 hours after the surgery. You may be OK to go out on a nice leisurely ride but I certainly wouldn't go out and do intervals for a few days.

i had all 4 of mine pulled at separate times... 3 of the 4 were no problem, but the last one bled for like 2 days...
anyway, your dentist/oral surgeon should have instructed you, but if i remember right, it is important to keep your blood pressure down (i.e. no sports or activity) until the socket heals itself or else you risk major infection. -- and high blood pressure and/or high pulse rate makes it harder for the socker to heal and increases chances it will open and bleed.
if i remember right this is like 2 days AFTER it stops bleeding (which is usually about an hour afterwards, but CAN be longer) that i was advised not to do sports or strenuous activity.
otherwise, jarring and whatnot shouldn't hurt it any - it's just what you personally can withstand if it is swollen and sore. i would think you could start training again 3-5 days afterwards...

I don't think I did anything for about a week after. I don't remember very well though. I do remember if i tilted my head too far forward it was like I could feel my face swell back up in an instant. That made me afraid it would start bleeding if I did anything strenuous.

well guys, it has been a week. I got my stitches out, and I'm going riding tomorrow. I'll see how it goes. I might just do 20 easy miles.
