Your doctor at Florida Root Canal Specialists will prescribe any medications necessary for the most successful outcome for your tooth. This will sometime include antibiotics after treatment. If you have an artificial joint or certain heart conditions, follow the recommendations of your orthopedist or cardiologist with respect to antibiotic premedication prior to your root canal treatment. If you are not sure if you require premedication, please contact your regular doctor and inquire prior to your appointment with us. If your general dentist prescribed you antibiotics, continue taking them as prescribed.
