People with heart disease can have dental treatment which requires the use of local anaesthetic without any problems. The anaesthetic needs to be inserted in the submucous palate slowly and carefully to avoid penetrating blood vessels.
With high risk patients, it is advisable to have an anaesthetist on hand to oversee and monitor the situation or even to perform intravenous sedation to remove patient anxiety through relaxation.
It is essential to obtain a complete clinical history of the patient in order to be aware of cardiovascular and any other type of problems.
The patient needs to inform the doctor of any anomaly or illness they may have, as well as if they are receiving any medication.
Nowadays, special anaesthetics are available for this type of pathology which means these patients can be treated safely in a controlled environment.
