  2. Have you undergone a bone grafting procedure? Are you wondering whether or not your dental bone graft can get infected? Look no further because this write-up is for you. Bone Grafting Material • The best choice for bone grafting material comes from you. The dentist near me may take bone from your ramus or chin. However, if bone from these areas close to your mouth cannot be sufficiently extracted, your dentist may pursue bone extraction from your shin or hip. • Because it supplies the largest amount of bone, the hip is always considered a better bone grafting resource. However, hip bone extraction also requires general anesthesia and a lengthy hospital stay.

Bacteria stemmed from three causes leads bone grafting infection including: • Infected dental tools used during the bone grafting procedure • Infected bone grafting material • Poor post-operative care Immediately after the Dental Bone Grafting Procedure: • Your dentist places a gauze pad over the treated area. Leave this gauze pad in place for about 30 minutes to help prevent bleeding. • Avoid touching the treated area or rinsing your mouth vigorously.
