Subject: antibiotics for dental exams and dental work
This is SBE prophylaxis (subacute bacterial endocarditis) which is given to patients with heart valve disease. When dental work is done, this causes the bacteria from the mouth to go into the system and can cause vegetation on one or more of the heart valves....which is a very serious and possibly life-threatening situation. Most surgeries require this be done before the procedure, even certain nonsurgical procedures that may be less invasive, require it as well. However, the guidelines are less stringent than they were previously. Hope this helps.

Here's the sentence:

The word was mental foramen and its exiting nerve. He really mumbled that together.
Anyhow, thanks for trying to help.
