i have cheer tryouts on tuesday- 5 days away. i had an apicoectomy (surgery to fix a failed root canal) 2 days ago, and im doing really well actually (for now)! my stitches will dissolve any day now. do you think i should be ok enough to do tryouts only a week after the surgery if im careful? dentist said i should be good, but hes not for sure. my tryouts do include flips and stuff by the way. what do you think? is it safe to do if im careful? ive worked so hard to get my skills refined for tryouts, i would be devastated if i cant do it because of my surgery, but my health does come first. opinions? thanks! i promise to rate you great for answering! =]

office a call and talk to his nurse.
Explain the situation and see what she
has to say about it. If they are busy she
may have to call you back, but she will.
I'm going to guess it will be ok to do.
My only concern would be if you are on
prescription pain meds. How will they
affect your balance and things like that.
Give the office a quick call.

But if you dentist said you'd be fine, I'd totally just go for it. Hope I helped you. Good Luck! (: [ italia94's advice column | Ask italia94 A Question ]
