I injured my tooth while chewing which created an abscess on my gums and an infection in my tooth. 2 weeks prior to my rhinoplasty my dentist has drained my abscess, applied a topical medication and has me on a course of amoxicillin. The dentist says that the tooth (which is a baby tooth and has no adult tooth under it) needs to come out and is causing the infection. The soonest they can extract the tooth is 7 days before my rhinoplasty. Is this a safety concern being so close to surgery?
