Almost immediately: Following any surgery, it is a good idea to rest and recover for a few days. No strenuous activity for a couple days is best to prevent bleeding and allow swelling to go down. Of course, you should protect the area from direct trauma at all times. Wearing a mouthguard would also help. Keep smiling !
