Whenever I visit the dentist, I am required to take 4 mega doses of antibiotics before any cleaning or work is done, or the infection will go into my knee replacements and will cause a massive infection in them.
I'm required to take one massive dose the day before the cleaning so it doesn't go to my heart because I have the two prolapsed valves. It's not terrible, but it's a minor inconvenience. I need to schedule a cleaning soon and see about getting my filling redone bc the filling came out of one of my upper molars.
