This is just a quick comment about dental work. Surgeons and dentists may recommend taking antibiotics before dental work to reduce the chance of infection. Dental work (especially cleaning) releases bacteria that can get into your bloodstream and infect the surgical site. I had knee surgery a while ago and had to take amoxicillin every time I went to the dentist for a year after the surgery.
