Can I Do Dental Work Before The Angioplasty?
My cardiologist recommended angioplasty as the gold standard because of irregular heartbeat ( I have had this all of my adult life. The issue is I am supposed to have 6 teeth pulled and a denture put in place( not implanted) Can I do this safely before and angioplasty or should I have it after. Please advise.

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. if i am your treating doctor i would suggest you to take an opinion and fitness certificate by the cardiac physician before extracting the teeth. if the blood pressure is normal then we can proceed with extraction. you can take prophylactic antibiotics like penicillin. consult a oral maxillofacial surgeon and get the teeth removed. i hope my answer will help you take care.
