Help--17 days pre-op with tooth pain!`

Will this stop me from having surgery on the 23? It's one of my molars. Actually I think it is one I already have a crown on. I tapped on each tooth like the dentist did and that's the tooth that hurts! I will call the dentist tomorrow (it's 1 am now). I have waited sooo long and gone through sooo much I can't face having my surgery put off for a stupid tooth! Has anyone else had something similar happen? I know it's not good to have any infection at the time of surgery--maybe I should have it pulled.
