Your dentist in Greeley, CO, requires a full list of your current medications and diagnosed medical conditions to help ensure your safety and well-being during treatment. This is true even if the medications don’t change your mouth.
Medications that may change your oral health include, but are not limited to:
- Antihistamines
- Antidepressants
- Diuretics
- Muscle Relaxants
- Immunosuppresents
- Calcium Channel Blockers
- Antibiotics
- Chemotherapy
- Anti-inflammatory Pain Relievers
These medications can cause dry mouth, gum overgrowth, or tooth discoloration, and may leave you at risk of infection following certain treatments. Dry mouth can lead to tooth decay.
When your dentist knows your health history and medications, we can take the appropriate precautions, allowing you to receive safer treatment.
If you have a medication change or new diagnosis, it’s crucial to talk to our team. We keep your dental records up to date, which allows us to recommend safe and appropriate care options for you.
Why Your Health History Matters
A certain dental treatment or procedure may be at odds with a specific medical condition and require an adjusted treatment approach, such as pre-treatment antibiotics.
Your dentist will discuss your condition with you and may consult your doctor.
At Norco Family Dental, your safety is the priority.
