According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the flu vaccine is the best way to protect people against the flu and prevent its spread. The flu vaccine can also reduce the severity of the flu if a person contracts a strain of the flu that the vaccine did not contain. It takes about two weeks following vaccination for antibodies to protect against the flu.
Some dentists do not routinely prescribe antibiotics and still have successful implant cases. Their success rate may increase with using antibiotics, but may not (it is all a matter of odds). You are likely fine, but may consider a different antibiotic with fewer side effects.
For at least 2 years after your surgery, your doctor may want you to take antibiotics before dental work or any invasive medical procedure. This is to help prevent infection around your shoulder replacement. After 2 years, your doctor and dentist will decide whether you still need to take antibiotics.ost people who have shoulder replacement surgery are able to sit up and get out of bed with some help later on the day of surgery. Your doctor may teach you to do simple breathing exercises to help prevent congestion in your lungs while your activity level is reduced.
