Havind dental work before breast augmentation surgery?

Asked By:23xxcc in Los Angeles, CA

I have my BA surgery next week and I'll have to get an interproximal reduction on two teeth this Friday for my orthodontics. My surgeon told me to avoid any dental work as it could introduce bacteria on my system. However my dentist claims it is perfectly OK to do it and not doing it now would delay my treatment for weeks. I don't know what to do but the fact that my gums always end up cut and bleeding whenever I go to the dentist makes me worry about bacteria. What should I do?
