Case Description
Today I underwent an emergency apicoectomy above two root canals that were done several years ago. As a hobby, I train in Thai kickboxing and can therefore get punched or kicked to the head. I was just wondering how long I should refrain from this activity in order to let my mouth and bones heal?
Thanks

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Please call your doctor, the one the did the apicos, and allow him/her to help you make a proper, educated decision.You should always wear your mouth guard, especially when engaged in violent activities. You have to make sure that the surgical site is not swallen and the guard can be put in place without damaging your mouth.Best wishes,
