Dental Clearance for Artificial Joints

Did you know that if you need an artificial joint replacement you are required to see your dentist for dental clearance prior to your surgery date? You must be clear from any dental infection before your joint is placed, because bacteria from the mouth can travel through the bloodstream, migrate to the joint, and cause damage to it. If you have any questions, feel free to comment them below or contact our office at (856) 881-5080!
