All great tips here. But I need additional info, having learned I’m going to have to have a root canal. It’s only 12 weeks since I had my very successful right knee replacement. (2 years ago I also had my left knee done).
The recent surgery went very well, not much pain and I’m back walking and biking. But now with no pain whatsoever. I’m grateful beyond words but concerned about having to have a root canal, because of possible infection going to the knee. My surgeon said if I can hold off they advise waiting 3 months after a knee replacement to have dental procedures because an infection might settle in the knee. Naturally, I’m hesitant to proceed and will try and hold off unless the tooth really goes haywire. I’d love to hear if anyone has successfully proceeded with a tooth extraction or root canal after TKR. Thanks to all. I’m finding this forum very helpful.
