Any dentists here who can advise me on how much time to take off?

I’m a general practice dentist and I’m having trouble deciding how much time to take off and how to modify my schedule in the first few weeks coming back. Any help would be appreciated!

Pediatric dentist here....I took 2-weeks off completely even week #3 back at work was really sort of half-speed with no operative. My biggest issue wasn’t physical - it was mental. It took me two weeks to really adapt to 800 calories per day and feel like I had good judgement. After two weeks the fog lifted. I had a particularly uneventful post-op...ZERO pain or nausea even the day after surgery - many aren’t as lucky and this was part of why I was able to get back quickly. I also have a partner and an associate so everything didn’t fall on me once I was back and I could slowly ramp up seeing more patients.
