Wednesday Clinic

It was exciting to pass off a couple of P.E's again yesterday. That is quite a relief to have a couple completed. We have been learning about health histories this week. It is interesting how important health histories are and if they are not evaluated properly the complications they may have for the patient. After working in the dental field for nearly 15 years, I feel that reviewing health histories is very important for the patient's health and for the dental professional that is treating the patient. It is amazing to see the difference in the level of patient evaluation that the program requires versus a general practice office. I feel happy to be more educated on how certain prescriptions may effect the patient and what health problems may need more attention before seeing a patient.
