Ultrasonic dental device

Hi all.  Went to dentist a few days ago for a cleaning and when I told her that I now have a P M. She told me that she can't use her ultra sonic cleaning tool on me any more.  So she used her manual instrument.  Wasn't the end of the world but took soooo long.  Any one else been told the same thing?  What would it do to me if it was used?  Thanks for your responses in advance.

My dentist uses it, is just careful to keep the cables away from my chest. 

thanks

Did you know that's what they use to perform echo's on your heart?

What will happen?

My dental hygienist uses the ultrasound on my teeth every visit. Has done for the last 5 years.

The only thing the untrasound does to me is get my teeth clean.

Just my opinion but I think your dental hygienist is being over-cautious, or maybe relying on outdated information.

You know you're wired when...

In fact after the final "tweaks" of my pacemaker programming at the one year check up it is working so well that I forget I have it.
