Was this bad planning?
I'm having 2 wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow. And my marathon is in a week and a half on the 6th. I planned on doing 12 miles on Saturday and then short runs during next week. Will I be totally out of it in pain from my mouth? The dentist said I would be fine to go into work on Friday so I figured it would only be painful that day. But I just mentioned it to my running buddy and she thinks I'm crazy!
Re: Was this bad planning?
I would think you'll be fine, but I had hardly any issues when I got my wisdom teeth out. I was sore for like a day or two, but other than that I was fine.
However, I know other people who puffed up like a chipmunk and were in a ton of pain. It's totally individual, so you really won't know how you'll react until you go through it, unfortunately.
I was fine after mine but I don't know if I was run 12 miles fine. If all goes well, I'm sure you can run Saturday just maybe not the entire length.
The real issue is if you get dry socket. That can be so painful!
Use the heck out of your mouthwash and make sure to take any antibotics that they give you.
Do you know if your teeth are impacted?
I had 1 (impacted) removed ~10 years ago and it was no joke. I was out of comission for a couple days, got puffy and a black eye.
I would push the surgery back-You trained so hard and long for this race. BTW..I'll be there too! Hoping for good weather!
This was me about 7 years ago. I was out for almost a week and even after, I felt pain in my jaw whenever I did a high impact workout, including running. Pain killers were my friend but I also had some nausea from them.
You might be OK, but you never know.
I hate to be a downer, but you might call your oral surgeon & see how long you are supposed to wait to do vigorous exercise.
I just had a consultation to have mine pulled (I go in for all 4 on May 4), and mine told me I couldn't work out for 5-7 days because of the risk of dry-sockets.
This may be different for you, but I would just check. I hope you're good to go, or can easily reschedule.

My Nest Bio and Cycling Advice
I just called the surgeon because I was getting nervous and he very nonchalantly said I will be absolutely fine to run 12 miles on Saturday. Like as if I was crazy for asking! I'm glad I called at least and I hope he's right.
I know! The past few weekends when it's been warm has totally been screwing with my pace. Last I checked it said it will be cool but I'm sure the forecast has changed a hundred times since then.
