Was eating some popcorn and had a kernel hit a spot just right/wrong on a rear molar a couple of weeks ago. Had some pain afterwards and scheduled an appointment with my dentist... results are I cracked the molar in half and there is no saving it due to the direction of the crack. My only recourse per my dentist is removal/extraction.
So they put me on an antibiotic and scheduled me for an extraction this Wednesday... I have an Olympic distance race on Saturday morning. I told the dentist I had an event on Saturday and wondered how it might affect me since I've never had a tooth extrated... he said the procedure was pretty routine and that there might be a little pain but shouldn't be a problem.
Any advice/feedback from the ST think tank?
