General Instructions Before Starting Dental Treatment

Disclosing Medical History

• Inform your dentist about any chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, or heart disease.

• Provide a complete, up-to-date list of all prescription and over-the-counter medications you take regularly.

Eating Before Your Appointment

• Have a light meal prior to your appointment unless general anesthesia or specific sedation protocols require fasting.

• Brush and floss thoroughly before arriving at the dental clinic.

Communicating Anxiety or Dental Fear

• If you experience dental anxiety or nervousness, inform your dental care team so they can ensure your comfort.

Temporary Medication Adjustments (If Required)

• In certain cases, you may be advised to pause specific medications (such as blood thinners) only after consulting your physician.

Bringing an Escort When Needed

• We recommend having an escort or family member accompany pediatric patients, seniors, or individuals with special needs.

Treatment Plan Review

• Ensure you clearly understand the recommended treatment plan and sign the consent form prior to starting.
