melanndoll 92 Posted November 3, 2013 My mom had her knee replaced and has to be on antibiotics before she goes to the dentist. Has anyone experienced this with lap band? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firasjs 2 Posted November 4, 2013 Hello I am in the health sector.. Tell your dentist to review the up to date recommendations! Currently antibiotics are not indicated unless patient has a bad valve! & it has nothing to do with the lap band.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
