Answers:
if your daughter has a heart murmur it may mean that one of her valves swishes, basically what happens is blood is supposed to go one way in and one way out of the heart!. If you have a heart murmur that is mitral valve prolapse that means the valve slips back letting a portion of blood back into the heart chamber!. This is usually not a problem in every day life however at the dentist while having a cleaning, filling or extraction they may introduce bacteria into the bloodstream!. (this doesn't make a big deal for people without heart valve defects) But if the bacteria is in the blood stream and the mitral valve prolapses allowing bacteria back into the heart chamber it could cause bacterial endocarditis a life threatening disease that would require months of antibiotics and most likely heart valve replacement!. So!.!.!.
If her murmur is "Functional" and the doctor sends a paper stating it is and she doesn't require antibiotics before dental procedures then don't worry about it!. If she has mitral valve prolapse requiring antibiotics before any dental treatment, she'll just have to take some medication about 1 hour prior to her dental appts!. This will help avoid the above situations!.

He is simply trying to cover his back and it is probably a good thing!. Seeing a dentist can be a bit traumatic thing for a child and, although I am not an expert on the numbing and other medication they give, it might be an issue!.
If your daughter has been to the doctor within a reasonable amount of time, a simple call to the doctor giving him the dentists name, number and fax number should do the trick!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

They need a paper saying she doesn't need medicine for her heart mumor!. Those with heart conditions need clearance before getting dental work done!. There are risks and they don't want to do something on her that could harm her!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
