Bacteremia from root canal on abcessed tooth. No antibiotics given prior to treatment. Why not?


Bacteremia led to endophthalmitis of the right eye, hospitalization, IV treatment for 6 weeks, 5 injections to the eye, evaluations by heart doctor, infectious disease doctor, 3 eye specialists, and other health care personnel. I also have Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome. The dentist assured me there was no need for antibiotic treatment prior to root canal procedure. He did not ask any questions regarding medical history. Was he correct in doing this?

You heart condition would indicate premedication. Check out the link below and see if you are in any category for dental premeds. You medical and dental history should have been reviewed before treatment began.

No your medial history is very important and if you have W.P.W. then that's something you should tell them right up front are they going to take care of the W.P.W.when it was suspected that I had it they took me in right away and found that I didn't have it but fixed the problem I was told if I didn't get it taken care of I could die.
