Hi,
I can say I understand your Pain!!!!! I have had two aortic valves replaced. AND, I have been plagued with tooth infections for years. Finally my cardiologist suggested I get my whole mouth examined by the dental department at the Cleveland Clinic. It was the best thing I ever did.. I had my whole mouth treated, several extractions with implants, a few root canals etc. I have been free from any dental woes for 4 years.

Dear Jules,
I did the same as above. Getting your bad teeth repaired is the best the best thing you can do for your heart.
You do not need an oral surgeon. You might need to take an antibiotic and stop your plavix/aspirin for a few days, but they are out in seconds.
May the Blessings Be!

Have you tried calling your local Health Department? Ours has a dentist and perhaps s/he could find a way for you to get the help you need. Or they could arrange for you to see someone they recommend.
The health of your teeth affects everything else in your body... please get some help and get those teeth taken care of. Infected teeth are serious health issues.
