Hi Sharon,

It’s difficult to say without personally seeing his teeth. I commend you for getting his dental issues addressed as it is often an overlooked part of pet healthcare. If the rest of the teeth are stable, non-painful, and he is eating, then you might be able to reconsider or postpone. If he didn’t eat or drink right away, I would wonder if pain control is adequate. Alternatively, you could consider paying a visit to them to help out.

Best of luck!
