My doctor said I need antibiotics for teeth cleaning & pap smears after implants, why?

Asked By:krose8

I am a bit worried because I get my teeth cleaned twice a year and a pap once a year, so it seems like a lot of time to be on antibiotics and I've heard they aren't the best for your body. I also don't necessarily like taking more medication than I need to and wasn't told this was necessary prior to surgery.
