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. Regards Dr Priyank Mody
