Description
On this week’s episode of Fast Facts - Perio Edition your host, Katrina Sanders, RDH takes a look at prophylactic antibiotics for the reduction of potential infective endocarditis. Quotes: “As we've continued to see research unpacking some of the risks associated with utilizing antibiotics before a dental procedure, we've actually found that there are incredible risks associated with overuse of antibiotics in our patient population.” “In fact, the guidelines note that people who are at risk for infective endocarditis are actually regularly exposed to oral bacteria during activities like brushing or flossing. And so the statement remains.” “New research from the American Heart Association is encouraging optimal oral health as a key component to reducing the risk of infective endocarditis and may play a more profound role than the concerns of bacterial seeding and subsequent utilization of antibiotics prophylactically before dental procedures.” Resources: DentistRX: https://www.dentistrx.com More Fast Facts: https://www.ataleoftwohygienists.com/fast-facts/ Katrina Sanders Website: https://www.katrinasanders.com Katrina Sanders Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedentalwinegenist/ Sources: Wilson W, Taubert KA, Gewitz M, et al.
