How many days should you rest after wisdom teeth surgery?

I am a 27 year old male. I want to know how many days should you rest after wisdom teeth surgery?

Normally, I tell my patients 3 days because it takes 3 days for the swelling to go down, but again, it varies from patient to patient.
Typically 3-5 days. Best to follow your doctor's advice based on your specific surgery.
In most cases, for impacted wisdom teeth, the day of surgery and 2 more days should be sufficient. Check with your surgeon for recommendations in your specific circumstances.

2 days of no partying and care should be about right if you’re healthy then continued caution and care for a week
