You have to get into the mindset of always thinking about cuts, dental cleanings ect, kind of hard to do at first if not used to it.

Good point re infection in joint replacements. Sharren and I both pre-medicate prior to dental procedures, surgeries, etc.. We use Clindamycin, an antibiotic, one hour prior to the procedure.
