Hi There,

I am a dentist and I would give my patients antibiotics prior to cleaning due to your port. It also depends on if the Herceptin are affecting your white counts. Take some antibio-prophylaxis Amoxicillin 2g 1 hour prior to your appointment. Your dentist should be able to prescribe it to you. Good luck.
