Why take an antibiotic for the dentist when you've had a knee replacement?

I'm slightly confused as to if the antibiotic was prescribed by your dentist or if the antibiotic is used in dentistry and was prescribed as a result of a knee replacement. Assuming the latter is the case, antibiotics are not location specific, they're bacteria specific. If you have an infection in your mouth, Penicillin will help to clear it up. That same Penicillin will help to prevent an infection in the knee after surgery.

Can knee replacement get a cortisone shot?
I have often heard about cortisone injections as an alternative to knee replacement but it is un heard of to have injection after the knee replacement. What is the logic behind it? Usually injections are taken to subside the pain that arise from contact of arthritic articular surfaces of knee bones. But when knee replacement is already done I do not see a reason for cortisone injection. At the same time if there is sudden severe pain in your knee after replacement surgery doctor might give you a shot of knee injection. Another possibility is if you have partial knee replacement and non operated compartment of your knee joint troubling you. Hope it helps.
