Recovered patient
I went trough syphilis treatment 18 years ago. Treatment went well, after two years of constant visits to doctor for testing I was told I am free. I was young and all I cared if I can have healthy baby in future. I was told that after three after treatment I can get pregnant without any health concerns for baby. Exactly three years later I gave birth a healthy baby. I was so happy, so I wanted to forget about it forever. But I never was clear is there anything can be pass to a baby after all treatments were done and precautions were taking in consideration? I know that I can't be a donor because my blood is always will contain titre of the disease in the past. How about my daughter can she still have it in her blood?
Next, I was also wonder if there any legal responsibility exist in USA for not to say doctors about your past disease? Sometime I am saying it, sometime i am not. It's very hard, I know I wont harm anybody. Many years past by I feel fine and I want to forget about it as nightmare. Because it really was?

no reason to bring this up to a dentist prior to a procedure at all. you don't have an active syphilis infection not to mention we take precautions for every single patient, we don't do anything 'special' to clean anything when we know someone has syphilis or any other infection.
Thank you for your respond!
Honestly I posted these questions because my best friend who used to work as a dentist thinks that i should tell my dentist about it before my tooth removal because its consider as a small surgery and all personals should take extra percautions regarding cleaning instruments and exc. I think its crazy, I am fine for long time. Why still remember about it. However, she made me worry again!

thankfully syphilis is easily treatable. no reason for any more fear from your prior infection.
