I needed a crown after reverse total shoulder Surgeon
Had me wait 6 mos post op to get done. Also had to take 2000 ng amoxicillin for 2 years prior to any procedure. same for my recent TKR. However if it’s a total necessity check with your surgeon because you don’t want to get abscess in your tooth either,

I’m going to try and hold out as long as I can. The surgeon and dentist said if it starts to hurt to take 750 mg of amoxicillin twice daily. I have an even greater fear of a knee infection because one caused my dad’s demise after his TKR. Thanks for your input.
How many years ago was your shoulder surgery? Im just wondering if perhaps that necessitated 6 months, where now the recommended wait time is 3 months? Thanks again.
