What is an antibiotic premedication?

For patients with certain heart conditions or a prosthesis placed in the body (i.e. artificial hip, knees or heart valves), an antibiotic may be required before dental procedures. This antibiotic is used to protect the heart or prostheses from potential infections that can result from your dental procedure. If your physician states that you need an antibiotic before any surgeries or dental visits, please inform our office before your first visit.
