You are at the dentist. Then why are you being asked to fill a Medical History Form?
Yes it seems tedious to fill that questionnaire but let’s look at the value.
We find that when we get an update on your health we are able to provide quality service that matches your needs. Your overall health influences dental treatment. Certain ailments that you may be suffering from and the medications you are on can be in conflict with the proposed treatment, or with the medications we prescribe.
For instance, if you have a cardiac condition and on blood thinners or if you are a diabetic, we need to be appraised of that prior to a dental extraction.
Therefore, keep yourself and your dentist posted on your health status. Safety First!
