Risk of capsular contracture and teeth cleaning.

chimerra
Will it be safe to have dental work and a teeth cleaning 2 weeks prior to a breast augmentation surgery? Will the bacteria from deep cleaning stay in my blood stream and cause risks for capsular contracture or other risks? Embarrassingly, my gums are sensitive and bleed when I floss harshly, even though I am up to date on teeth cleaning, will this cause capsular contracture?
