A few days ago I had a root canal on a cracked molar. Both the dentist and oral surgeon agreed it was good practice to take an antibiotic due to risk of infection, and specifically because of the implant. I was prescribed 500mg of Amoxicillin for 10 days, 3x daily. For those of you with an implant who were prescribed an antibiotic for dental work :
1) did your Dr(s) identify your implant as a specific risk related to infection ?
2) what were you prescribed and for how long ?

How did you bring up the implant question? Had you updated your medical records with the dentist after the surgery, or did you just factually state you have a penile implant and wondered about antibiotics to prevent infection? Not sure if I would want to blurt out "BTW, my penis has an implant!" in front of the dentist and hygienist.

Re: Antibiotics to protect implant after dental work
What's the relationship between getting dental work done and having a penile implant?
43, ED since late 20's, Pills on and off since then increasing strengths with inconsistent results. Now 5mg Cialis daily and either 20mg Cialis or 100mg Viagra
Not sure if it's Psychological or Physiological, long-term use of SSRI's probably hasn't helped
