• THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE VISITING A DENTAL
  CLINIC!
• Communicate your medical issues clearly
• Medical history of patient is important for
  planning a dental treatment plan therefore, you
  should communicate any medical issue or current
  medication with your dentist. Some dental
  problems could be associated with medical
  condition of the patient. So, clear communication
  helps in correct diagnosis. For instance,
  diabetes is linked with risk of gum problems and
  hypertensive medication causes dry mouth.
  Moreover, knowledge of patients medical history
  helps dentist to tackle any case of medical
  emergencies in dental chair.
• Dont Apply Lipstick and remove Oral jewellery
• Always remember to remove your lipstick before
  entering the dental clinic. As your lipstick
  will contaminate dental instruments, gloves and
  can mess your face during procedure.
• Additionally, coloured lips make it more
  difficult for your dentist to determine which
  tooth shade best matches your actual teeth while
  doing a dental repair.
• Dental X-rays are relatively safe
• Most patients are usually worried about danger of
  dental radiations as its a long-held belief
  that x-rays are carcinogenic. However, Radiations
  from modern x-ray machines are extremely low,
  making them perfectly safe for patients of all
  ages. You will be exposed to
• more radiation If you spend one hour in Sun as
  compared to that due to x-rays.
