I was advised to take a course of 4 Amoxicillin capsules one hour before cleanings or any other dental work which might stir up bacteria in the mouth. This was to be done for three years after my ADR Surgery. My dentist supports this as he heeds this for all implant surgeries including hip, knee, shoulder implants, etc.
I think it is sound advice and a good precautionary stance. Implants are one more part in the body that bacteria can hide and create havoc. Why take a risk on destroying something that we all suffered to obtain.
My two cents.
