Single and Diving after wisdom teeth removed?

[NURSESHARK100]

Hello

Just wanted to know how long you have to wait to dive after getting wisdom teeth removed. My dentist stated I can dive tommorrow if I keep my mouthe clean. Thought I would have to wait a month. Does anyone have any input on this issue? A month would be a longtime ... Bye Jessica

Lets just say that if they get infected you won't think that the month is too long.

In my experience. I dived the day after the surgery without problems !!!.
I was in treatment with antibiotics

Seems to me that it would depend on the method used to remove them....

And, what does "clean" mean? Is the ocean as clean as they want your mouth?
