Smiles on 146th Street New Patient Form
|
Patients are often confused as to the reasons why they need to fill out medical and dental history forms. People often do not realize how their dental health affects their physical health and how their physical health affects their dental health.
Dental exams can reveal gum disease, cavities, oral cancer, poor oral health conditions that are linked to diabetes, heart disease and poor overall health. Because of how these risk factors are related to each other you will be asked additional questions regarding your health.
Please note that we advise all new patients to allot extra time to come to your first appointment 30 minutes in advance to complete the check in process. It takes less time if these froms are completed.
