hello, heart block is not a contraindication for dental implants. But there is a consideration for anticoagulant tablets which would have been given by your cardiologist which should be stopped for 5 days during implant procedure with the consent from your cardiologist and if your INR (blood investigation) level is within 3 you can go for dental implants.......

Dr. AKHTARHUSAIN MANSURI answered : 11 years ago

Agreed with Dr Santosh Kumar to consult your Cardiologist which your dentist shall definitely do so as per the medico-Dental protocol but I suggest that all implants should not be carried at one go but spaced out, to control exhaustion, fear, anxiety and stress

Dental implants are newer technologies available and long term data on safety in heart patients is not available but on a theoretical basis there is an increased chance of heart blockage during implant surgery as well as after that while using them. So in short try to avoid them. Go for FPD/CD/RPD

He also seems to have a couple of tooth decays. What can be done at this tender age, and what can I expect from the dental treatment.

Doctor's Answer

Hello there, firstly I would like to mention here is that there is no age limit in medical science as far as any of the treatments is concerned. Children like any grown adult need their teeth for the purpose of eating food, talking (speech), muscles support, esthetics & overall growth of the jaw. What I can understand from your query is that your childâ€™s tooth infection has spreaded beyond the tooth structure and is having a periapical /periodontal abscess which has resulted in a swelling ...

I have had wisdom tooth issues for the last few years. For the second time this year I am experiencing a "locking" of the jaw. My two wisdom teeth are laying sideways instead of straight up, and they both have cracked and broken exposing the nerve. I can barely open my mouth more than an inch, can't fit a fork in there, can't yawn. It hurts. I do not have dental insurance and want to know if I go to the ER can they at least give me an antibiotic or something to alleviate the pain. It is the weekend, and Tuesday is Christmas so my primary care doctor is closed.
