Do i need a special dentist if i am on heart medicine?
Patient: 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. Doctor: 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
