HI Everyone, I had Rhuematic Fever when I was 10 years old, no damage to the heart. At 50 I still have to take anti-biotics before anything dental. Its because it was an immune system disease.

In short, if your MD hasn't prescribed antibiotic premedication for the above, or any other reason; you won't need it.I'm a dental hygienist, and we deal with this every day. Nick
