Before Getting Your Teeth Cleaned Should You Pre-medicate With Antibiotics?
I have MM and an autoimmune disorder. Thank you
I wasn’t required to have antibiotics and have had my teeth cleaned twice.
Ask your doctor. I thought I should have antibodies, but my Oncologist said no. My situation is not the same as yours. Ask. Do you have MyChart, so you can ask online? Otherwise, just call.

This significantly lowers the risk of developing osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), a condition that can occur with bisphosphonate Show Full Answer
Great advice Paula. Thanks
