Many of you may wonder why? If these diseases require notifying the dentist before dental procedures such as tooth extraction, scaling, dental implants, or gum treatment, today we will explain how dangerous these diseases can be when undergoing dental procedures.

Groups of people who need to provide information before receiving dental treatment

Group 1 consists of diseases that cause easy bleeding and difficulty in clotting, such as:

• Low platelet count or hemophilia, which may result in bleeding or spots of blood throughout the body
• Kidney disease and individuals with a history of kidney dialysis because they receive anticoagulant medication
• Individuals who have undergone heart valve replacement surgery and are taking blood-thinning medications

Group 2 consists of diseases that may show symptoms during dental procedures:

• Heart disease, which may cause chest pain, shortness of breath, or palpitations
• Asthma, which may cause wheezing and requires regular inhaler use and receiving steroids
•  Epilepsy
•  Hypertension

Group 3 is diabetes because it affects wound healing.

By notifying the dentist in advance, it helps to prepare and take precautions in case symptoms worsen.

Why do patients need to provide disease information before dental procedures?

This is because planning dental treatment for patients with low platelet count needs to consider their easy bleeding and clotting difficulties. Therefore, before every dental treatment, the dentist needs to consult the patient’s attending physician to assess the severity of the existing disease and the necessity of special preparation for the dental treatment, especially in the case of multiple tooth extractions, oral surgery, or root canal surgery.
