Antibiotic treatment for dental work

Antibiotic treatment for dental work

Posted By kim on October 26, 1998 at 15:17:06:







I have cardiomyopathy from chemotherapy (Adriamycin).  I have 50% EF and mild MVP.  I will soon undergo dental work to fill some cavities.  I understand that I have to have an antibiotic treatment before.  My dentist's opinion is that antibiotics will cause allergic side effects and future resistance to antibiotics.  In my case, do you think it is necessary to take antibiotics for my dental work?  If I don't take antibiotics, what are the dangers for me?  Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you.  Your forum is a great help to me.
Kim.
