Dear kk81549,

Surprisingly, I have had two patients that I could
trace a breast implant infection directly to dental work. For this reason, although
there is no uniformity of recommendation in our profession, I recommend that a
woman who has had implants in the last six months undergo prophylactic
antibiotics before dental work. Again, this is just my personal recommendation.

I hope this has been helpful.

Thank you for your question. There is little data that cleaning your teeth within weeks of your augmentation will cause a CC. Infection independently has been associated with CC. I would discuss your concerns with your PS. Best wishes
