my first dentist appointment in 12 years is tmw, 1st i have a tooth in pretty bad shape. im scared it could give me a brain infection (sounds stupid i know).
2nd is that im scared of the teeth cleaning also because MVP or mitro valve prolaps (not sure if i spelled it right) runs in my family and i read on google (bad idea i know) that people who get teeth cleaning with MVP can have bacteria travel through the blood because of the teeth cleaning and that can give you heart infections! i guess they give you antibiotics before the cleaning if you have MVP but i read that can make bacteria in your mouth become resistant to antibiotics! also i don't know if i have MVP but it runs in my family so should i put this off? im really scared.:unsure: thanks for reading this because i know its long. has anyone dealt with a situation like this that could give me some advice or just some reassurance that everything will be ok.
thanks everyone
