I know the use of antibiotics prior to dental procedures is controversial. My dentist says I don't need them, but to do what my surgeon advises. Surgeon says yes. (There have been times I have forgotten and I've been fine). Next week I'm having two cysts removed from my back and since they are deep, the surgeon is doing it at the hospital and under anesthesia. I phoned my Ortho's office and was told to absolutely take the amoxicillin in the morning before the procedure. You guessed it....the nurse at the surgeons office said it wasn't necessary. I know I am allowed to take my blood pressure pill with a small sip of water when I get up in the morning. Should I take the amoxicillin at the same time? Maybe take it afterwards? I'm 3½ years out from my TKR's if that matters.
