I have surgery next Wednesday and have 2 fillings bothering me

My surgery is next week. I just read on the message board about not having surgery if you have an abcessed tooth. How do you know if it is absessed? I am pushed for time. I had the two fillings done in March and they bother me after eating very cold foods. They do not hurt all the time and I do not have a fever. The dentist said he was near the nerve so they may hurt a bit but I was giving them time to adjust, as a friend suggested. Do you think I'm ok for surgery and they are just heat sensitive?
