Absolutely !: Antibiotic prophylaxis may or may not be indicated for your MVP. Discuss your desire for dental care with your physician, who will guide you on any precautions, if any, that should be taken. With that knowledge, visit your dentist to be treated.

Yes to treatment: You will need to see your Physician, or preferably a Cardiologist, to evaluate your heart health. You will also need to be seen by a Dentist to treat your oral infection(s). Oral infections have been implicated in heart health problems. Your situation is manageable, so don't wait. Make your appointments now.
