Dentist did deep cleaning today, no significant amount of bleeding. but no antibiotics given after. should i be worried? blood infection?

No worries: Antibiotics are prescribed to control an infection. Overuse of antibiotics can result in resistant bacterial strains. There is no protocol for giving antibiotics for a deep cleaning.
