The visit to the dentist will start before the date of the visit even arrives. At Oliveira & Cardo Dental, when someone calls to schedule an appointment with a dentist for the first time, they may be asked to provide certain information regarding their medical history. This is important because the dentist, like any other doctor, will want to know if there have been any issues in the past with the patient’s body or oral health. Examples of important information may be: implantable medical devices, surgical procedures or chronic medical conditions.
This information is important because it may overlap with what the dentist wants to do. For example, if a patient’s mouth is anatomically different due to surgery, this is something the dentist will want to know because it will impact how the dentist takes care of the patient.
