I had a wisdom tooth removed last year and totally understand the urge to get back into training. The biggest thing my dentist stressed was to avoid anything that could disrupt clotting or increase blood pressure around the extraction site. Even light inversions or spins on the pole can create pressure changes that might delay healing or cause dry socket, which is way more frustrating in the long run than taking an extra few days off.

When I went through it, I waited about ten days before easing back into pole conditioning and focused more on stretching and floorwork during that time. Once I felt completely comfortable and the site had closed up, I slowly added in spins again. Everyone heals differently, though, so listening to your body and checking in with a professional is key.

If you ever consider an implant afterward, practices such as Blue Tooth Dental emphasize staged recovery, ensuring your bone and gums are fully ready before returning to full activity. If you’re looking for more details or a trusted opinion, you can click here to see where they’re based.
