@mhcurrier This is a good question for your surgeon. When facing joint revisions in 2011, my surgeon told me to get any needed dental work done, then he would schedule after 2 months. I was advised to have no non emergency dental or surgical procedures for 6 months after joint replacement, and then to have prophylactic antibiotics beforehand.
