Yeah, that was the first thought I had when he mentioned getting the extractions but I didn't want to bring it up--and I also assumed yahoo62278 informed his dentist about what's going on with his heart and that the dentist would take that into account. But at this point I think the risk of infection has diminished (maybe Dr. Leo could weigh in on that, because I haven't researched it).
Hope your holiday was good, yahoo62278. Still sending positive vibes your way!
