My father is a heart patient. He got operated in 1987. He regularly takes Calaptin and lanoxin tablets recommended by doctor. He had proper root canal treatment around 1 year back in one side of teeth without pre-consultation with cardiologist and he felt fine. Now he's having pain in other side, we consulted dental specialist and he's saying to consult with cardiologist first. Kindly guide us.

This is a protocol rarely followed by Indian practitioners that when a patient gives history of any major short or long term illness, he/ she must consult the respected physician to proceed with the invasive procedures like Extraction, RCT, Implant, surgical grafting, cyst and tumor removal etc. If your father's cardiologist suggests for dental procedures to be carried out, risk of future complications will be reduced drastically.
