Yes: It would appear that you must have the antibiotics to act as a preventive to be in your bloodstream prior to having any dental work done especially if there may be a possibility of your gums bleeding during the procedure, which normally always does some. Don't worry about the number of meds you are taking. Be thankful they are looking out for your health.

Please take: Antibiotic will control infection until teeth are rx. They will not "cure" the problem. Must rx the infected teeth and/or gums. Antibiotic must be taken exactly as directed for the full course of the antibiotic (don't quit early). Glad your dentist is taking such good care of you...Follow his advice to the letter.

Pre Medication: Your dentist prescribed antibiotics for premedication prior to dental treatment. Antibiotics usually do not cause issues with other medications. Please discuss your concerns with your dentist.... I'm confident you are in good hands.
