Tooth Extraction - Can I run a race 2 days later??


Question: I am having 1 wisdom tooth pulled that has fully surfaced. My dentist said it will be a really easy pull. He is not cutting it out, just a straight pull. Do you think I will be able to run a race 2 days later?

I had another wisdom tooth pulled a year ago and it was a piece of cake. Same procedure as this time. I am just not sure how long I shouldn't exercise for.

Thanks!
Answers: i would think you can but consult with your dentist to be on the safe side.
welll i was going to say wisdom or not but since it isnt i think that you should have no problems as long as those 2 days you take it easy. You shouldnty excersize just for one day tyo make sure the blood clotts correctly
Arrgh, don't you worry about your race at this time.
Your dentist knows well, and if its a straight pull, then you are quite lucky.
Go ahead with the pull as well as race.
