Time to rest after wisdom tooth extraction.
I have just had four wisdom teeth extracted. How long should I wait before juggling?

2weeks 3days and 4hours
Not a second more

That's oddly specific and absolutely infuriating. There's no way I'm going to wait that long!
No, I'm sure he's right. You wouldn't want to ignore the advice of some guy on the internet on a matter as important as this, would you?
After my wisdom tooth extraction I went juggling to relax. I assume you only had local anesthetic?

I had local anesthetic before surgery, and now I am taking Ibuprofen.
I have a lot of energy and desire to juggle, but due to swelling I can't look up.

Time to become a godmaster of bounce juggling methinks.

This is so outside of my imagination...after my wisdom teeth extraction I bled for about half a week and was catatonic for days. It took me about a week to be able to even want to juggle.

I had two wisdom teeth removed two days before flying out to Denmark for the EJC in 2003. I was taking painkillers and other drugs throughout, and didn't drink at all, but it remains one of my all time favourite juggling conventions.
Maybe because I only had one removed. I remember thinking that there would be a lot of pain when the anesthetic wore of, but there was very little. After a couple of days there was no pain at all. Having 4 removed at once must be horrible with regards to eating.

Indeed...I didn't eat much the day of or day after, and after that it was smoothies for each meal. Given how much I liked smoothies, I was surprised I got sick of them as quickly as I did.
In hindsight, day-of was such an amazing mix of sensations. The dentist recommended putting tea bags in the bleeding areas (all four). There I was, on painkillers, tasting extreme bitterness, exhausted. But then, restless from the caffeine, as I normally have little to no caffeine in a day (probably ~10 mg).
I think it's a shame I don't remember it clearly, as I like recalling times of extreme emotion or sensations to set benchmarks and appreciate how robust humans are.
You could ask your dentist, what the risks are in your case when doing serious sport.

The followup appointment is on Tuesday. I am going to wait for the doctor's permission before attempting toss juggling.
I'd ask about blood pressure, high pulse and fairly healed wounds breaking open by doing sports .. get him to talk about any risk their might be.
Maybe two phone calls (ask his help the question and get the answer from her later without contact with the dentist himself) will do for a clear "yes you can" or "No!" or "Must see on Tuesday first. Please wait.".
