No bathing or strenuous exercise. Following cataract surgery (in people as well as dogs) there is no significant discomfort, thus pain medication is not necessary. Additional re-examinations will be scheduled at 1, 2, 4, and 6 weeks after the cataract surgery and additionally as needed.
However, in general, you should eat softer and non-crunchy foods for at least a few days. With wisdom teeth extraction this time period may well exceed five weeks. For teeth extracted more towards the front of the mouth there is less risk of a problem and less restrictions..
Once your tooth extraction has been completed, your dentist should provide you with two sets of aftercare instructions. 1  One will cover things to do (and not to do) during the first 24 hours after having your tooth pulled. 2  The other will be recovery instructions for the days that follow.
