Can i exercise after getting dental fillings?

Yes!: No problem exercising... Just be careful not to bite any numb areas if the anesthesia has not worn off while exerting yourself.

Follow instructions: Many dental procedures allow exercise within several hours after the treatment. If you are following your dentist's instructions regarding exercise and recovery time, your mouth and gums should heal properly. Take care.

Absolutely: In fact, you will likely lose the numbness faster due to the increased heart rate and circulation.
