Would it be o k to have teeth filled pre-op?

My surgery (open RNY) is scheduled for May 9. I have 2 teeth that desperately need filling. My husband has some concerns about having dental work done so close to surgery. I have some concerns about having rotten teeth in my mouth while having my stomach and intestines cut open. Does anyone know if it is okay to have these teeth filled or should I wait?
