Asked By:annibacon in United Kingdom, GB

I have just found I have abscess and infection in gum / root canal which needs antibiotics to treat but am booked in for Breast augmentation in two days . I saw two dentists who both said wait until post surgery to treat infection, my concern is that I haven't let consultant know yet ( but have left a message to discuss ) I am concerned he may postpone surgery and advise I treat infection firsts although I am not in any pain etc ... He is giving me a weeks course of anti biotics post surgery.
