Can someone with a heart device work as a dentist or at a dental office?

This should be fine in most cases, but there are certain considerations within a dental office that could impact an implanted heart device. Items such as magnets found in the pillow headrests, as well as the motors of ultrasonic tools, should be kept at least 6 in (15 cm) away from a device.

Discuss with a doctor before working in this environment.
