Most of the time thr hole in the heart can close on its own depending on the position of it. Also important to get the child seeing a cardiologist regularly. The reason to keep the teeth clean is to prevent a complication called bacterial endocarditis. Keep the child healthy with good diet and regular follow up. If dhe gets unexplained fever better get Paediatric assessment
