I have mitral valve prolapse (basically a heart murmur) and when my dentist found out he wouldn't clean my teeth. I had to reschedule my appointment and he gave me a prescription for antibiotics that I have to take an hour before I go in. He said that it's because the bacteria that gets into your system can settle in (or around) your heart.
