I've just had 2 fillings and I really want to workout today.

    Depends on what anaesthesia you had, what your dentist said, how you feel, that kind of thing.

    If you haven't been advised to avoid it, you could always start but stop if it causes you any discomfort.

    If you received a local anesthetic such as lidocaine, polocain, marcaine then yes you can workout.

    If the anesthetic used was basic novacaine then there's no reason I can think of why you shouldn't be able to. Anything stronger, however, and I'd say take the day off.

    I have worked in dentistry for many years, absolutely you can work out!!!! I have done a 2 hour stint in the gym following a root canal!
