I have an ICD and it has never been a problem but as I said before I have been premedicating for years due to my joint replacements! Have you looked into finding a Dental Office that uses Gas to relax You? My Mama had to get gas for a routine cleaning! LOL❤️❤️❤️

OH boy something I have to discuss with my DR at my visit on the 8th. I am overdue for Dental work and very anxious for doing so. I hated dental work before the Afib/ and now Pacemaker thing. Yeah. this is going to be fun.

I have been premedicating since my first of five titanium joints were installed!

Eva, I premedicate but that is because I have a congenital heart problem that has not been repaired. I would call my doctor and get their advice. Hugs🤗
