A simple cleaning seems harmless, but dental work releases oral bacteria into your bloodstream (transient bacteremia).

Cleaning/Filling: Wait 24 hours. By then, your immune system has cleared the bacteria.
Extraction/Root Canal: Wait 72 hours (3 days). This allows for healing and ensures no secondary infection has set in.
Viral Infection: If you had a gum infection or abscess, wait until 7 days after completing your antibiotics.
