Hi everyone. I've not yet had my op but got listed for it in and 19 weeks time. I've read the leaflets they've given me so far but not read anything on them 're teeth. I keep seeing this referenced on here . Do some insist you get a check up pre op ? My next dental appt isn't due till after when I'm expecting to have my op. Is there a timescale after the op you can't have any dental work done ?? My dentist is a bit hard to change appts with .
The for any answers Julie.

thx for your reply. pleased you're doing so well. I think tbh the pain I get post OP will be less than an having now ( was the same when had my fall bladder out last yr). agree re stockings - I'll be ok for a bit as my daughters coming from London but I cant expect her or want her to stay long. I'm very independent lol.good tho abt only being in 3 days 😃 and yes once I've a date if I need to I can bring my next dentist appt forward.

Dental Evaluation
Although infections after hip replacement are not common, an infection can occur if bacteria enter your bloodstream. Because bacteria can enter the bloodstream during dental procedures, major dental procedures (such as tooth extractions and periodontal work) should be completed before your hip replacement surgery. Routine cleaning of your teeth should be delayed for several weeks after surgery.
