Antibiotics for a Tooth Infection, Dental Implant, Bone Grafts

http://www.burbankdentalimplants.com/antibiotics-for-a-tooth-infection-dental-implant-bone-graft-do-i-need-them/ *****please post your comments to the above website rather than to YouTube for a quicker reply*** In this short, but highly informative video, I review some of the common truths and misconceptions about antibiotics in relationship to tooth infections, dental implants and bone grafting. Use of antibiotics should be judicious and carefully thought out. Just because you have an “infection” in your tooth, it does not mean you need an antibiotic. Also, not all “infections” are actually infections. Not all infections can be cured by antibiotics alone. Antibiotics are commonly needed for procedures that involved cutting through bone or addition of bone graft materials. There is a limited supply of new blood vessels that can get your natural immune system’s protection in the first few days following a significant procedures such as a surgical extraction, a bone graft, sinus graft, apicoectomy and dental implants. Antibiotics are extremely helpful in many situations. I also discussed common questions such as antibiotic resistance and what happens with common stomach issues and what to do about them. I think you will find this video helpful. Please feel free to ask questions below. Ramsey A. Amin, D.D.S.
