Hi. My partner is due to have an angiogram in a couple of days but he has a wisdom tooth infection and his dentist has advised him not to have the angiogram while he has the infection. Anyone know the reason why? Thanks

    Such infections can get to the heart.

    All cardiac patients need good dental care and hygiene.

    Well I have cardiomyapathy and am waiting to get tests to see what they are going to do but wait times in Canada are terrible. But I have gum disease and so every night now I get a fever, the shakes and a temp.  Is this caused because of the teeth. I don't know and seems the docs here have no idea and don't even look at my swollen gums. I am getting pretty tired of this and am sick of being sick
