Hello, 3 days back I had my fully mesial impacted wisdom tooth (left down side) removed using surgical method (where some part of bone was cut) I have stitches in there. So far I have followed all topical instructions from dentist. I wanted to know if I can fully open my mouth now? And if I do so then will it delay healing or cause dry socket or impact the stitches? And also please advise how long do I need to avoid gym/weight training. When can I start to have hard food also if possible advise food which will accelerate healing and prevent dry socket? Also please confirm the medications given are good. I have attached x-ray and prescription really sorry for too many questions, thanks in advance for your valuable answers.
