I have to have some dental work carried out, I've had one lot of precautionary antibiotics as the Dentist wanted to know how I should be treated. According to her book it depends on prosthesis type as to whether antibiotic cover is required & for the spine it is either a mega dose which needs to be got from my GP or IV antibiotics which isn't an option in a general dentist surgery.

I phoned Mr Lams secretary to ask, told her what antibiotics I've been on & asked the question. Finally this morning I got a reply but I'm now even more confused! Aparently antibiotics aren't needed but I should carry on with what I have as a precaution

What have others done in this instance please? Do I or don't I have antibiotics for invasive dentistry? I've been having enough problems since my ADR & the last thing I want to do is have an extra infection get through!!

Help please
