How long after tooth extraction can you swim? How long after tooth extraction can you swim?

1. The wound is basically healed one week after tooth extraction. It is recommended to swim again after one week, preferably one month later. Be careful not to cause infection. When swimming, be sure to close your mouth tightly and avoid getting dirty water.

2. The blood clot will organize 24 hours after tooth extraction, completely cover the wound surface one week later, new bone will fill the alveolar socket after 4 weeks, and new bone will be completely formed in 2-3 months. This means that it will take 2-3 months for the tooth extraction wound to heal completely (including the formation of new alveolar bone).

3. In addition, after tooth extraction, do not chew on the affected side, do not eat spicy food, and do not repeatedly suck or lick the wound with your tongue.
