Would it be okay for me to have a root canal one week before my tummy tuck/BBL surgery? I'm not being put to sleep

Hello. Great question. Having a root canal one week before a tummy tuck with BBL should not be an issue. Please inform your surgeon about your procedure.

It's best to proceed with your root canal as planned as that is a medically necessary procedure and then see how you heal. The main concern would be risk of infection from having these two procedures so close together. If no signs of infection are present you can have your surgery. I encourage you to discuss your situation with your surgeon.

Thank you for your question.  Yes, you should be fine to get a root canal before your planned tummy tuck surgery.  As long as you heal well and have no active infection, I see no reason that you should postpone your surgery.  Good luck.
