Extracted teeth,how soon?

I had three teeth extracted yesterday. I'm not on any medications, but I'm concerned that pressure changes might work loose the clots. Is that a valid concern, and should I wait a few days before flying? Physically and mentally I feel fine...

If you can wait, do so, better safe than sorry.

Four days is reasonable. Any potential problems will be just rearing their ugly heads at the end of that time....

When I had four teeth pulled up front, to let my braces do their thing, I made my Mom sick. For some reason, she took me to a Skyline chili afterwards. I was still numb, and chewing the heck out of the inside of my cheeks. I got even when she went to the bathroom. I stuck chili beans in each hole, and gave her a bit ole grin when she came back.


Guess I should be glad I didn't cause an infection
