Do I Need A Special Dentist If I Am On Heart Medicine?

Lost a tooth/cap and will have to see a dentist. Do I see a special dentist, because 10 years ago I had an emergency AAA surgery and pressure of some sort cracked rear teeth during the long operation. I haven't been to the dentist and am heart medicine.

No you don't need a special dentist for the same, however a skillful and senior dentist should be preferred.
Also the dentist should be well versed with precautions to be taken in a heart patient and knowledge about infective endocarditis prophylaxis.
