A member asked:
Just had gum grafting done on one tooth with alloderm due to recession. antibiotics were given since graft is a foreign body substance. makes sense?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Recession: Providing antibiotics after any surgical procedure is prudent. Take exactly as directed until all are gone. You trusted the General Dentist or Periodontist who did the surgery up until now. Please follow his/her directions.
