Oral Healthcare Unit
The Oral Healthcare Unit is based at the Freeman Hospital and provides specialist oral healthcare and advice for child and adult patients with congenital heart disease – this includes patients who require, or have had a heart transplant.
It is important that patients with heart conditions maintain good dental health to reduce the risk of infections which can affect their health and well being. For example, infective endocarditis.
