After a tooth extraction, it's generally recommended to wait at least 7 to 10 days before wearing a gum shield. This allows sufficient time for the extraction site to heal and reduces the risk of disrupting the healing process or causing infection. Always consult with your dentist for personalized advice based on your specific situation.
