Hey gang--just had a tooth extracted today, and the advice was no workout today (to be expected) but I'd be fine after that. However, searching online, I'm seeing advice not to swim for a week or more.
What's your experience/advice on this? I had to skip practice today; next practice is two days from now (Thursday). I really want to get back to it but I wonder how safe it would be to go ahead with swimming. Thoughts? Granted, what I want to hear is "no problem at all, go for it"--but I also have to pay attention if there are risks.
Thanks!
If you get your heart rate too high too soon you run the risk of disrupting the clot and getting dry socket.Dry socket is painful and slows healing. My dentist said that if I had throbbing my HR was too high and to not continue.If you feel OK and no throbbing,go for it.
