I had snakebites briefly when I was 14..? but had to take them out because my a nurse at my cardiologists office told me due to my heart defect I was at risk for endocarditis (we were under the impression she had asked him herself?). When I went in for my regular check up a year or two later my cardiologist said it actually wasn’t a concern and they had even stopped recommending preventative antibiotics for teeth cleaning as well.
#I have a bi cuspid valve instead of a tricuspid valve#and I’ve had two heart surgeries - born with coarctation of the aorta#I don’t miss having to take amoxicillin before a tooth cleaning#also don’t miss my snakebites but I was very sad at the time
