IMPORTANT: A parent or guardian must accompany all patients under 18 at the consultation visit.
Please alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern prior to surgery (i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves, history of infective endocarditis, congenital heart disease, etc.) or if you are on any medication (i.e. heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.) or require medication prior to dental cleanings (i.e antibiotics, for pre-med.) If possible, bring a list of your medications with you to the consultation.
If you have taken premedication prior to dental visits for your joint replacement surgery in the past, read HERE and HERE about why this is no longer necessary. Consult with your orthopedic surgeon if you require premedication or have questions about this topic.
