A member asked:
I had a inguinal hernia surgery 10 days ago with a mesh. i now have a infection in my dental implant. whats the chances of the mesh getting infected?

Doubtful: the dental infection is isolated to your mouth and unless you had a bloodstram infection, is not related to hernia repair. Get a dental exam.
