Can you have a hysterectomy with tooth infection?

No, you cannot have a hysterectomy with a tooth infection. A tooth infection can cause bacteria to enter the bloodstream, which can increase your risk of developing an infection after surgery. In addition, the antibiotics that you may need to take to treat the tooth infection can interfere with the healing process after surgery. Therefore, it is important to have any tooth infections treated before undergoing a hysterectomy.
