This is probably a silly question, but I'm supposed to go to the dentist in an hour for a regular cleaning -- is it okay this close to surgery???  I can't get a hold of Addie at Dr. B's to ask her for sure.

Reassure me?  Thanks!

ETA: Nevermind, I got myself too freaked out and rescheduled it. LOL

I know this is a little late for a reply, but I wanted to say that I had a molar pulled a little over a week before my surgery.  I called Dr. Baker's office first and asked about it, and they seemed to agree with me that better to get it pulled, then risk getting an infection or abscess and having the surgery cancelled.  And I made sure that the dentist gave me non-NSAID pain medication.

So I am sure you can get your teeth cleaned without any troubles.
