I am currently in a cervical collar, meaning that my mouth opening is limited. Will this impact a)my dental health b)me being able to go to the dentist

It can be a problem, depending upon the type of treatment required; you'd have to ask the dentist at the time if it's urgent to seek treatment. At least your issue sounds temporary, unlike some who have permanent issues like scleroderma.
