Dental Health Relating to Hear Attacks Posted: 12-02-03 13:40pm
I would like any information regarding the
linking of dental problems to heart
attacks. My father in law recently passed
away from a heart attack and had suffered
with dental problems for a number of
years. My own father has had poor dental
health and has had a heart attack. I am
concerned with my father's health and want
to get as much information regarding this
issue as possible.

Dental Health And Heart Attacks Posted: 07-12-04 12:51pm
My son has a heart condition and since so
he has to take a antibotic a hour before
any dental work is to be done. If a
heart problem exists an infection from
dental work can get into the blood and can
cause serious problems. If there is any
heart problems I would ask for an
antibotic be given before going to the
dentist. My son's doctor gave him a card
I carry w/ him to the dentist.
