You need to let your team of docs decide but I would agree with you that now would not be the best time to do anything inside your mouth. You have a full plate now and for weeks to come. Does your dentist really understand what the radiation is going to do to your OC? Maybe I'm missing something but shaving your bone does not sound pain free or something that heals in days. Hopefully Jerry or Mike will comment.
