Hi @partyon, Whether to have the extraction before your heart surgery or after would be a good question for the heart specialist and your dentist. The surgeon or cardiologist may have protocol in place for that situation.

From my past experience in the dental field, it was generally advisable to have all dental work completed weeks before surgery. It may be suggested that you take a prophylactic dose of antibiotics at the time of the extraction.

Have you checked in with your cardiologist or surgeon?
