Hi Bobbi,
The American Heart Association changed their pre medication protocol several years ago for people with MVP. It has been established that the premedication is not necessary for most dental treatment in "healthy" people with MVP. There are exceptions to this rule, but only for certain individuals having certain dental procedures.

I also think that getting a second opinion would be a good thing to do, but without telling the second dentist what the first one had stated. If the opinions match, then, you'll, at least, have a choice of who you want to see for treatment(s).
