If you are prone to infections, or if infections are particularly dangerous for you, you may need to take antibiotics before you have some types of dental work.
we may ask you about the foods you eat. What you eat and whether you get enough vitamins and minerals can affect your dental health.
If you have active tooth decay or gum disease, we will talk to you about changing your brushing habits. In severe cases, we may recommend antibiotics, special mouthwashes, or other dental treatments. If your teeth and gums appear healthy, we will recommend that you continue your usual brushing and flossing.
