Infections in joint replacements can be
instigated by severe gum problems. Call Dr. Bowen for help.
Dr.
Bowen strongly recommends a thorough dental examination for presence of tooth and gum infection
is recommended prior to joint replacement.Periodontal disease is a commonly occurring oral infection of the adult population (80% of adults are affected) destroying the bony support of the teeth. This infection slowly progresses over the lifetime of the patient and is often manifested in the advanced stage in the senior population.
Because of the lack of any discomfort to the patient until total loss of bony support to the teeth, many adults are unaware that they have this infection until they visit Richard W Bowen DDS Inc. However, the bacteria from this bone destroying disease, especially in the more advanced cases, has been attributed to possible infection of joint replacements.
Candidates for joint replacements who have not been seen by Dr. Bowen in over a year should consider a thorough dental evaluation of their teeth and gums before surgery.
Depending on the severity of the infection, treatment of gum infections and tooth abscesses may take from two weeks to two months before the patient reaches adequate health before surgery.
If you have any questions about infection in joint replacements, please call our office at (877) 507-3288.
