The frequency of dental visits indicates a patient's commitment to oral health.

Regular dental prophylaxis (cleanings) can reveal underlying periodontal issues and provide a dental prognosis.

Past anesthetic experiences highlight potential allergies or adverse reactions to local anesthesia.

Past extractions with complications such as excessive bleeding or delayed healing may require systemic evaluation before future procedures.

The type of periodontal treatment received (scaling, occlusal adjustment, or surgery) provides insights into their dental history.

Previous orthodontic treatment including the appliances used provides valuable information about the patient's dental history.

The history of dental appliances, including the type, duration, and any modifications, provide information regarding the patient's dental health.

Past medical history, including childhood diseases, hospitalizations, allergies, and medications, provides insight into potential risks for dental treatment.

A type of heart defect where the heart's chambers don't form correctly, potentially leading to cyanotic skin due to low blood oxygen levels.

A condition marked by abnormal heart valve function, affecting the flow of blood. It increases the risk of bacterial infections in the heart, particularly after dental procedures.

A condition where the heart muscle thickens, leading to problems with blood flow and potential complications during dental procedures.

A condition where the heart's mitral valve doesn't close properly, causing blood to leak back into the heart. This can increase the risk of heart infection during dental treatment.

A condition where the body's blood pressure is consistently high. This can lead to various potential problems during dental procedures, such as increased stress, potential for complications, and drug interactions.

A condition marked by chest pain and shortness of breath caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. Dental procedures can trigger anginal attacks, especially in individuals with pre-existing conditions.

Certain types of medications used to lower blood pressure can lead to dry mouth, which is termed xerostomia.

Patients with high blood pressure may need additional precautions during dental procedures, as stress can elevate blood pressure. Dental treatments and dental medications can interact with blood pressure medications.

Increased risk of infection after a coronary artery stent placement due to bacteria entering the bloodstream from dental procedures.

Dry mouth, taste changes, or inflammation inside the mouth caused by medications used to treat heart conditions.

Stress from a dental appointment can trigger chest pain, a heart attack, or sudden death in people with heart conditions.

Using too much epinephrine (a substance in some dental anesthetics) can lead to dangerously high blood pressure in patients taking certain medications for heart conditions.

Patients taking blood thinners like aspirin or Coumadin may experience excessive bleeding during invasive dental procedures.

The dentist can get infected from a patient who is infected with Hepatitis B, C, D, or E.

Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to infection, poor wound healing, and complications like heart disease, blindness, and kidney failure.

People with diabetes are more likely to develop gum disease, dry mouth, and experience problems with wound healing.

Leukemia, a type of cancer affecting blood-forming cells, can lead to a weakening of the immune system, increased bleeding after extractions, and delayed wound healing.

Hemophilia, a genetic disorder affecting blood clotting, leads to excessive and potentially fatal bleeding, especially during dental procedures.

Addison's disease, a hormonal imbalance affecting the adrenal glands, requires careful management before dental procedures to avoid potentially fatal complications.

Hyperthyroidism, overactive thyroid, requires careful management before dental treatment to avoid a potentially fatal thyroid crisis.

Congestive heart failure, a weakened heart's ability to pump blood effectively, can pose risks during dental procedures, especially in advanced cases.

A condition characterized by a fungal infection of the mouth, often presenting as white patches on the tongue or cheeks.

A severe fungal infection often involving the sinuses, brain, or lungs. It can cause facial pain, fever, and breathing difficulties. It is more common in individuals with weakened immune systems.

Inflammation of the mucous membranes lining the mouth. It can be caused by various factors, including radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or certain medications.

Dry mouth, a common side effect of radiation therapy, affecting saliva production.

A type of dental infection affecting the jawbone, often occurring after radiation therapy.

The inability to fully open the mouth, often caused by muscle spasms or inflammation. Often seen in individuals who have received radiation therapy to the head and neck.

Gingival overgrowth, a common side effect of certain medications, particularly phenytoin or Dilantin.

Spontaneous or excessive bleeding from the gums, often a symptom of certain medical conditions like thrombocytopenia or leukemia.
