What activities should NOT be done after getting your wisdom teeth pulled?

My doctor told me not to do anything that would raise my blood pressure. It is a good idea to avoid any kind of suction during the first two weeks following the extractions. This includes sipping through a straw and smoking. This could cause the blood clots to be dislodged from the sockets and result in a painful condition known as a dry socket. If this happens, see your dentist ASAP. It can be treated. No spitting or any kind of suction for 48 hours.

Also no physical exercises for 48 hours. It is a good idea not to drive or operate heavy machinery until the anethesia has completely worn off.
