The dentist should know you have the pacer but newer ones are well shielded and they don't cause problems at the dentist.

Your dentist will likely require a release from your cardiologist/EP before they'll touch your mouth but it's just a formality (lawyers may be hiding in the woodwork).

You know you're wired when...

I am just thankful that I am alive and that even though I have this pacemaker it is not the end of the world.
