Can my son go to practice after having a few teeth pulled?

He had two of his baby teeth pulled using a sedative, which didn't put him asleep. There were no problems, but the dentist told me to have him take it easy because his balance would be off. Now he is begging me to go to wrestling practice tonight. Is it ok for him to still go or not? It seems as if everything has worn off, and he has no pain at all.

I'd have him sit out 1 day. If he is still even the least bit off from the sedative he could be injured wrestling. I don't think it's worth the risk. Take it easy one day and go back to it tomorrow.
Reply:If he feels fine, why not? I mean, he'll already be on the floor!
Reply:I played soccer the day after my wisdom teeth were pulled and I was fine. If he is a little off balance it could result in a different injury. If he's in high school I'd trust him to make the decision.
Reply:I wouldn't let him go. The body needs a little time to heal. Tell him to kick back and watch a movie instead.
Reply:I don't think he should go, because all the action may cause bleeding and I'm sure no one wants anyone blood on them.
Reply:Wrestling... I don't know. One of my friends came to water polo after getting her wisdom teeth out - I think even two days after getting them out. She got kicked in the face and reopened her wounds! Wrestling sounds like maybe something similar could happen - I'd be leary.
Reply:Since the dentist said his balance will be a little off, I would keep him home. No since in risking letting him injure himself in another way.
Reply:If he is feeling fine I would let him go. My son had 9 of his baby teeth pulled and he was heavily sedated they told me he would sleep the rest of the day but he didn't he ran around like nothing ever happened.
Reply:NO!! The extraction sites could start to bleed again. I not sure what sedative was used but for the first 24 hours it remains in your system.
Reply:I would rather see him wait an extra day. He will not be missing much. I don't think you would want to see him get injured for wrestling. No pain is a good sign, keep it that way.
Reply:Depends on how the extractions go %26amp; how he feels afterwards. Don't make no plans until you see.
