Approx 3 years ago I had to have gum surgery. It was the best thing I've done for myself. However, I always had to pre-medicate (antibiotic) prior to any dental procedure due to a heart murmur. I recently called my GP to get a script for my pre meds for a cleaning at my dentist's office, and the GP now says that it's not necessary for me to be pre medicated for dental procedures. I go twice a year to have my teeth cleaned; once to my regular dentist and the other to my periodontist.

Any feedback? Thank you. Marilyn
