ICD and dental implants

ICD and dental implants

If I have the ICD implanted would this prohibit me from getting dental implants - would there be any 'reaction' from the metal dental implants on the implantable cardiac defibrillator.  If so, would it make a difference if I had the dental implants put in prior to the ICD or vice versa - or would getting the dental implants be out of the question all together?

Thank you.

I'll have to watch your post to see if you get a knowledgeable answer, but offer in advance the opinion that there is no relationship between a dental implant and an ICD.  I could be wrong, but offer this positive view to help hold you over to other experience based inputs.  Hope you get one or more.

Hi
I do not think the dental implants would be a problem, But I would check with your doctor or the manufacture of your ICD.
