Can I have dental work done 1 week after masseter Botox? What are the risks?

Intellectual222095
I just had botox in my masseter muscles for bruxism and I am planning 1 week after the botox to have a lot of dental work - extraction of wisdom teeth on lower jaw, ceramic onlays on lower and upper jaw , etc. I am very worried that anaesthesia and dental work will be in the same place where botox is placed, can it interfere and lead to complications like paralysing my facial nerve or any problems? How long after jaw botox is best to wait for major dental work ?
