I can tell you that I was concerned, because I have a tiny heart murmur and take antibiotics before routine dental appointments (when I remember -- and if I don't remember, the docs won't touch me until I have premedicated). I told my OS this, and he said, " I'm not at all worried about that -- you'll be so full of antibiotics.
