AVR and double bypass on 26 February 2020. Things going pretty well after initial lung problem.
Finally managed to get a dental appointment: the good news is that there is no immediate need for remedial treatment, the bad news is that the Cardiac unit has not responded to my dentist’s letter to them concerning future treatment. Apparently, this may need provision of antibiotics and until she gets clearance, she is not happy to proceed with hygienist procedures.
This was a few weeks ago and she promised to write again and get in touch when a reply is received. I haven’t heard anything yet so I was wondering what other people’s experience of this has been like, before I try contacting the Bristol Heart Institute directly.
