Can I still get a TT with dental issues? Or is it smarter to take care of my dental problems before surgery? Will having a really bad cavity or two effect the state of my health while under for TT? Should I get my teeth fixed first and how long after getting teeth fixed should I wait (days,weeks,months) to get TT? Or can I go under having sinus headache/infection from teeth?
