Dentists in Auckland Launch Efforts to Emphasize the Value of Patient Form Accuracy
Recently released statistics from the dental field reveal an estimated 53 percent of patients omit facts about their general health when filling out forms for their dentists. Patients indicate the bulk of such omissions pertain to medical conditions as well as medications currently being taken. On a related note, a limited industry study shows an increase of approximately 150 cases of health complications following dental care relating to these same categories. In an effort to help thwart these occurrences, Steven Brown of Dentists in Auckland has launched the practice's latest efforts to educate the public regarding the relevance of medications and overall health to dental care.
