Antibiotics before dental work.

[Guest guest]

I thought it was common knowledge to take antibiotics before dental

work. But last week when I went in for my first annual checkup, left

hip Conserve+ 12/18/00, I saw a person who was three years post-op

with a Conserve+. They were limping and explained that there was

going to be an exploratory surgery on the next day. They had not

taken any antibiotics before dental work the week before because they

didn't think they were necessary and neither did their dentist. I

thought it was clear from the handbook and in taking to Dr. A and my

dentist that it was " cheap insurance " . I just wanted to let anybody

know who didn't know already.
