I had a cerebral angiogram while on Keytruda, which involved inserting a probe through the femoral artery and threading it up to my brain. It was actually supposed to be an angioplasty, but the degree of stenosis turned out to be less than anticipated, but in any case the change of course had nothing to do with my immunotherapy. My oncologist was consulted and approved this.
There were no problems afterward. Of course, oral surgery is a different type of procedure. I think you should consult your oncologist before undertaking anything.
