My SAP has ick, can I trim his teeth?

Well, it is just a simple question:

My SAP has ick and he is in a QT. I noticed that his mouth is constantly opened, I can see his teeth all the time but he eats snails and freezed-dried bloodworms in an ordinary way. Should I trim his teeth while he's there for ick treatment? Or the stress caused by trimming would aggravate his ill-health?

If he is still eating, treat the tank for ich (as per the article in our Library--no meds) & then trim his teeth a few weeks after you see no spots.
