dental treatment after cataract operation

How soon after a cataract operation (on the 4th) can I have dental treatment for replacing a crown or maybe having this back tooth out.   Some aching experienced but dentist said it did not look urgent.   The discomfort is on the tooth next to the wisdom on the inside and on this side there seems to be a gap and sharp edge to the cap.  I have posted this on the Dental posts but maybe this is a better place to ask

thanks

It should be ok after two weeks.  Ask your eye surgeon.
