I asked this in the running section, but it didn't turn up much. I am an avid runner and will summer coming I'm looking to get in serious shape. I've recently had some dental work done (I previously didn't have dental insurance, so I'm catching up now). Due to some complications and pain, I've taken a lot of time off here and there from my running. Yesterday I had a root canal to deal with an abscessed tooth. I think I'm finally out of the woods with my teeth. I had plans for a big summer of 5k racing, but my training is now way behind, and I'm eager to get back on track. Has anyone had experiences with running/exercising after dental procedures? What did you have done, and how long did you wait before you started back into your routine?

You are fine to go running after a root canal treatment. It is only inadvisable to run after an extraction because the increase in blood pressure can cause the socket to bleed again.
