Health questionnaire

Why is a health questionnaire important for your dentist and dental hygienist?

  • Problems in the mouth can be caused by illness or medication
  • Some diseases or medication may be a limitation for dental treatments or in some cases we need to take precautionary measures. It is important that your dentist takes this into account.
  • Always inform your dentist if something has changed in your health or your medication. Your data falls under medical professional secrecy and are therefore treated confidentially.
  • Take a recent medication overview to every appointment with your dentist. You can ask this overview to your pharmacist.
