You need to take it before. With tooth extraction, mouth bacteria can enter the blood stream and potentially seed the implant. The same principle holds true for the antibiotics that are given prior to making an incision for any plastic surgery procedure. It has to be BEFORE the incision is made.

To be effective he should take here prophylactic antibiotics before dental procedure not after. However since she forgot it is best to take them after and I doubt that you will have a problem.

While many/most surgeon would say this is not needed(as it really isn't for total knee and hip prosthesis either), IF you actually want a benefit, you need to take the abx at least 1 hour prior to dental work. Taking the medication after won't really do much as the horse is already out of the barn.

Although not ideal I would take them anyway .
Just take them within 24 hours
There is really no evidenced based literature
To support this treatment either way .
