Infections in joint replacements can be
instigated by severe gum problems. Call Dr. Major for help.
Candidates
for joint replacements who have not been seen by Dr. Major in over a
year should have a thorough dental evaluation of their teeth and gums
before surgery.80% of adults are affected by periodontal disease, which destroys 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 there is no discomfort until total loss of bony support to the teeth, many adults are unaware that they have this infection until they visit Spring Creek Dental Care. However, the bacteria from this bone destroying disease, especially in the more advanced cases, has been attributed to possible infection of joint replacements.
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 to have surgery.
If you have any questions about infection in joint replacements, please call our office at (423) 499-9300.
