A member asked:
Can any type of dental work interfere with blood tests?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Any dental work releases bacteria into the blood and a blood culture taken after dental work may be positive, even though the body will likely clear the bacteria, on its own. Other tests may be affect a little, depending on if any medications were injected as part of the dental work.
