Post Operative Dental Guidelines:
For two years following a surgical procedure that included a fusion, you will need antibiotics prior to your dentist appointment. (for these purposes, a fusion surgery is equivelant to a joint replacement surgery)

Your dentist will prescribe these, in accordance to the guidelines published by the American Dental Guidelines and American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons. Please inform him or her of all medications you are taking, and of any drug allergies.
