Capsular contracture and dentist? Will flossing teeth cause capsular contracture?

We recommend not having any dental work done for 6 weeks after any cosmetic surgery to prevent bacteria to enter the bloodstream. However, using dental floss or brushing your teeth is not a concern after the surgery. Best of luck to you.

Routine dental visits are important to your overall health as is flossing your teeth. There is still much that is unknown about capsular contracture but you should not stop dental care. If your dentist is performing deep cleaning or a more significant procedure antibiotics may be indicated. Your surgeon can advise you.
