Having teeth cleaned releases bacteria that could overwhelm a recovering immune system but you may already be adequately protected. It wouldn't hurt to ask in case any safeguards are warranted. My wife wasn't on other prophylactic antibiotics so the dentist had her take antibiotics both before and immediately after cleanings.
