Can I work out after a root canal?

I just had a root canal, and I'm eager to get back to the gym. However, I've heard that lifting weights soon after such a procedure may not be advisable, as it could increase the risk of infection or complications. Can you provide guidance on when it might be safe to resume working out after a root canal?

You’ll be fine to work out. The root canal will cause no problem that can’t be taken care of with a mild dose of anit-inflammatory like Advil for discomfort. The work-out will not affect the occurrence of infection and bleeding is not a problem

I don’t know about the infection but it could cause bleeding. It is probably best to take it easy for a day or two.

If your feeling okay you should be okay, root canal are not exractions where you have an open wound. If your not feeling any pain then go ahead and work out.
