57.5 Degrees of Pain
The thread's resident dentist says get that tooth out now! Far more could go wrong leaving it, and if there are any problems with healing you still have time to recover if you do it next week.

#25377. That means green, right?

57.5 Degrees of Pain
I guess we could try for a world record Lee. Fastest marathon dressed as dentist and patient, including extraction en route.....

57.5 DoP - If it gets rid of the pain I’m up for anything, including Brunski’s pliers! 😄
As you can see from the late post my tooth won’t let me sleep!
Any chance of getting a dentist over Easter without paying the equivalent of a deposit for a small house.....?

Those numbers put me on the blue start. That will be a first.

It depends where you are Lee - the NHS has emergency dentist provision but what that covers vary from area to area - have a look online. I'm not a dentist but in my experience you may need antibiotics so get it sorted sooner rather than later. I don't know what 57.5 feels about it but until you can get seen I'd use Oil of Cloves and paracetamol.

Sounds as though you're a victim of the increased numbers of GFA Baz - off behind the elites and champ start at the front of the main field. It will be interesting to see how it works.

I’ve been at the Blue start before, just behind the Elite. It was good, and crowds weren’t an issue. The atmosphere was probably better as you can hear the top runners be introduced over the tannoy.

As an aside, there’s a better chance of getting on TV too, In my case I could be seen sneaking off for a wee.

Actually will be pleased to be on blue if I am as I haven’t had that experience before of the full route. And given I will never be fast enough for a champs place I didn’t think I would ever be on blue.
