#– 5971 – A Law with Teeth!
Question
Dear Rabbi Shlit’a. I have an appointment at my dental surgeon to have my dentures placed on the of the Nine Days. Can I keep that appointment or should I change the appointment for after the Nine Days ?
Answer
Poskim rule that if the procedure involves any danger, if possible, it is preferable to postpone it until after the three weeks are over, .
