    Couldnt agree more. The antibiotics you took have done nothing but place you at risk of anaphlyactic reaction. The bacteraemias (amount of bacteria in the bloodstream) produced by toothbrushing as toothsmith mentions and simple things like eating are equivalent to something like an extraction if actually not less. If you consider whats happening with an extraction, the blood is coming out of the socket, theres not much moving the other way. You were at a greater risk of endocarditis when you had the dodgy tooth in your mouth.

    I wont prescribe antibiotics to cover such conditions any more as per current guidelines. If a cardiologist were to insist on it, I would request that they prescribed and supervised the antibiotics themselves. The situation hasnt occurred yet.
