CardioSeal Occluder implants and the dentist.   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #664 of 690 |

I have the CardioSeal Occluder metal implant in my heart.
Do you have to pre-medicate before a dental appt.? I have a terrible toothache
and need to go to an emergency dental appt. I was wondering if I can just go, or
do I need to take anti-biotics? And why do you have to do that anyway?
Implant was nov. 2007 and I am off plavix now, and only on daily aspirin.
Thanks for any info. I have calls into my docs, but the appt for the dentist is
in only an hour, so I need to now like yesterday.
Thanks anybody,

If your patch has completely healed, you may not need to premedicate for life. My dentist showed me an article last time I was in, I think from the American...

That would be good. I was told the last time I saw my cardiologist that everything was great, and he saw no reason to ever see him again. I thought that meant...
