Hi,
There are n specific things for mitral valve prolapse. In case of very advanced stage surgery is indicated. Otherwise the only thing that you should do is prophilaxis of endocarditis. In this case patients should take antibiotics before dental procedures, any surgery or intervention, even small, and in case of injuries. There are specific regimen for these cases. So you should ask your doctor for any planned procedure.
Hope I could help you
Wishing you good health
