Can I Go to the Gym After a Dental Crown?
After getting a
dental crown, it’s generally safe to return to the gym, but it’s important to take a
few precautions. While most people can resume their normal activities the day after the procedure, your body may need a little time to adjust, especially if you’ve had anesthesia.
It’s best to avoid vigorous physical activities that could put strain on your jaw or cause you to accidentally bite down hard, such as heavy lifting or intense cardio, for at least 24-48 hours. This gives your crown time to settle into place and ensures that you don’t put unnecessary stress on the new restoration.
If you’re feeling any discomfort or soreness after the procedure, consider opting for lighter exercises, like walking or gentle stretching, until you feel more comfortable. Always listen to your body and consult your dentist if you have any concerns about your recovery.
