Having a dental crown replaced
The chance of getting an infection after dental work is extremely rare, however that being said, it is likely not worth taking the risk after a tummy tuck surgery. I would agree with others that a month should be appropriate time to allow the scar tissue and incisions to heal before having dental work. I would likely have my patient’s wait six weeks prior to having dental work after a breast augmentation procedure. The implants are more likely to get contaminated with circulating bacteria and this can cause more of an issue with contracture of the capsule in the future. If you cannot move your appointment, I would recommend a dose of antibiotics before your dental procedure and one dose after. Consult with your dentist to find out more.
Almost all type of dental work means a contaminated procedure specially when they must do deep cleaning, all those bacteria may end up in your bloodstream and die of Toxic Shock. Avoid any type of this treatments and , the use of tampons one month before and after surgery. Dr. Cardenas
