A member asked:
My teeth have rotted and my cardiologist won't install my pacemaker until they are pulled. can't she do it now if i'm on antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely yes, but: It depends on the cardiologist. They may also want a follow up note from your dentist to say that you had a good response to antibiotics and your gum line looks healthy. Hope this helps
