Questions you might like to ask your healthcare team?

 

In the past I have been given antibiotics to prevent infective endocarditis for the same procedure but have not been offered them now. Why has this changed?

 

Is there some written material (like a leaflet) about infective endocarditis that I can have?

 

What can I do to improve my oral health?

 

What symptoms should I look out for?

 

Who do I contact if I think I have symptoms of infective endocarditis?

 

What do I do if I think I have an infection?
I've used a chlorhexidine mouthwash when I have had dental treatment in the past. Is this helpful?
