I would not fall or if you feel good enough do whatever. Some people recover quicker than others

My recovery wasnt bad at all...didn't even need the oxys they gave me.
Everyone is different, you'll know when youre ready. Just pray you don't get dry socket.
I'd just ask the doc about your skiing conundrum.

actual dentist giving advise here:
IT DEPENDS.
Some people feel fine 24 hours later. Some people will swell up like a balloon the next day or 2 days later. You will want to manage the pain. Some people are just fine with ibuprofen and or tylenol. Most people will need narcotic pain meds like vicodin or percocet. You will not want to ski on these drugs. Period.
Next you want to avoid getting dry sockets. This normally only happens on the lower teeth and happens when the blood clot pops out. This can happen when you exert a lot of force like exercising or weight lifting. So I would take it really easy skiing the first 72 hours to try and avoid getting a dry socket.
Spark notes. Take it easy for 72 hours and enjoy the pain meds and tv.

I'm having a dental implant with a graft and removing 4 wisdom teeth tomorrow. Any chance I'll be good to ski by Friday? The wisdom teeth are crooked but not impacted.

Where will you be skiing at?

well seeing as a few teeth you never used don't really impact your ability to ski then I would say you are fine
people are such pussies these days

I got mine out last year, and I was up and walking around after a couple of days. If you have a week, you'll be fine. Just try to avoid crashing, don't want to bust the sockets open on accident. Good luck out there man, hopefully I will be getting out there soon too.

didnt read the comments - IF u got all of ur bottom wisdom teeth it sucks, the top ones are easy as fuck. ******Rinse with salt water. I said fuck it and didnt do that and then a week later my cheeks were all inflamed and shit. I had bone specules grow out of my jaw. I had to go back to the oral surgeon and he hacked them off. I played lax with them and it blew when I ran because they would ache. I recommend going skiing when the tenderness is gone

i had 6 (had 2 extra) out last fall. I had 3 days off work then the weekend, and was back to normal besides eating by monday. Besides the swelling, it didn't really hold me back from doing anything. So chances are you will be able to ski no problem.
Also, if you can, try to get perqs or oxys instead of t3.

i skied the day after i got mine out. Took some meds and crused around with my friends. Every now and then i would start bleeding out my mouth from the chairlift.
