Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
How often do I have to update my health history? Why do you need my medication list?
We recommend updating your health history at least once a year or whenever there are changes to your overall health or medications. This information is crucial for providing safe and effective dental care, as some medical conditions and medications can affect your treatment.
Why do you take my blood pressure every visit? isn’t that what my physician does, why do you need too?
Monitoring your blood pressure is an important part of your overall health assessment. It can alert us to potential underlying conditions that might affect your dental treatment or require precautions.
Why do I have to fill up paperwork so often? I don’t want to do this
We understand it can be tedious, but updating your information regularly ensures we have accurate health records and can provide you with the safest and most effective care
I am 18 years old; I no longer need my parents’ consent, right?
That’s correct! As an adult, you can consent to your own treatment. We’ll just need you to fill out some updated paperwork.
Can I use my medical insurance card?
Medical insurance and dental insurance are separate plans with different networks, benefits, and ID numbers. Your medical insurance card typically covers medical care (doctor visits, hospital care, emergency services), while dental insurance covers routine cleanings, exams, X-rays, fillings, crowns, and other dental procedures.
Can my older child take their younger sibling to the dentist for me?
Generally, it is best for a parent or guardian to bring their child to an appointment to sign paperwork giving legal consent to allow treatment for any child aged 19 or younger. And it is best for a parent or guardian to be present to speak to the dentist about any concerns with the child’s dental health. However, in some situations, we can handle consent paperwork in advance and allow an older sibling to accompany a younger sibling. Please call our office to discuss your individual situation.
