Yes you should. Even a minor infection like a cavity can interfere with healing and God forbit it should turn into something worse just before or just after surgery. Paying to get a cavity is WAY less than waitng and paying for a root canal and a crown! Good luck!

Mary, Just the week before my by-pass I had to have a root canal and it cost $700.00 for the root canal and another $600.00 for the crown to complete it. I'd get the cavity repaired. I was lucky that my dental insurance paid all but $150.00 of the total cost.
