swimming after wisdom tooth removal
![[Deleted User]](https://we.vanillicon.com/e29defb8f117e775d5896b4b65f71952_100.png)
i had to have one of my lower wisdom teeth removed yesterday-i have no stitches, and so far it has been relatively pain free (a bit stiff), but not much bleeding.
i am just wondering when can i get back for a swim in the pool?
i am supposed to be having a swim lesson tomorrow night, but am wondering if this is maybe too soon!
any comments would be gratefully appreciated!!

Depends entirely how you feel.
If you feel bruised, swollen and if someone has kicked you in the face then you will probably want to give it a miss.
If you feel ok and are a 'tough-as-nails' runner then there's no reason you can't swim.

As long as you feel up to it, there's no particular reason why you shouldn't swim...the blood clot in your socket should be set enough after 24 hours to cope with a bit of pool water
