I am due to have an arthroscopy a week on Thursday to repair the meniscal disk (sp?) in my knee. I have had toothache for a few days and saw the dentist on Friday - he said my gum is infected. He cleaned it out and packed it with stuff containing menthol among other things. The entire weekend my gum has been extremely swollen and is certainly no better than it was. I have another appointment tomorrow morning. I am concerned that my operation might be affected either if he gives me antibiotics or if the infection is still there next week. Am I right to be concerned? I have a pre-op appointment with my surgeon tomorrow afternoon and don't want to waste his time if all he is going to do is postpone the op.

But who knows?
It would be a very brave surgeon who would go ahead with an ongoing dental problem.
Attend you consultation, but do not be surprised your your arthroscopy is postponed.
