Aside the wisdom teeth removal cost Sydney, the most common question that strikes the mind of the patient more often is “How Long Does the Patient Wait to Exercise after Getting through Wisdom Teeth Removal Surgery?”  This article will reveal the answer to this question.

After getting wisdom teeth removal, it’s better to start exercising even from the next day itself, shocking, right? Yeah, it’s good if you start practicing mouth and jaw exercise. These exercises not only help you reduce the pain but also speed up the recovery process.

In this article, we are going to discuss few of the important types of mouth and jaw exercises to perform after undergoing wisdom teeth removal surgery.

Opening and Closing Your Mouth Slowly 

The day after the procedure you will notice that your muscles will be more swollen and harder to move. This may especially feel more obviously early in the morning, since your mouth hasn’t moved overnight. By practicing the mouth and jaw exercise gradually, you will be able to open your mouth to speak or eat easily.

Goldfish Exercise for Partial Opening

Keep your tongue on the roof of your mouth and one finger in front of your ear where your TMJ is located. Put your pointer finger on your chin and drop your lower jaw and then close. Practice this 5-6 times a day. There should be mild resistance but not pain.

Chin Tucks

This TMJ exercise also works well for reducing pain and numbness in the surgery area. Pull your chin straight back, creating “a double chin” and hold this for three seconds and repeat for nearly 10 times.

Stretching Exercise

Perform the below mentioned stretching exercise as much as possible without causing yourself discomfort. To do this stretching exercise, try the below steps:

With your teeth slightly apart, slowly open your mouth as wide as you can while looking up with your eyes. Hold your mouth for few seconds say 10 seconds and then slowly close it.

After that, move your jaw to the left side while looking to your right side with your eyes. Make sure not to turn your heads or neck. Hold this position for few seconds and then move back to the center. Repeat the same process for the right side too.

How fast is Your Recovery Time?

There is no short straight answer for this question, because it entirely depends on your age, how well your dentist has handled the surgery and what types of post-operative care you’ve taken.
