Our dental staff in the Los Angeles and Valencia dental offices can help prevent potential medical problems by having each patient complete an updated medical history.
By having the patient provide any changes in health status, as well as changes in his or her prescription medication, potential problems can be avoided.
Knowledge of any chronic disorders, allergies, heart problems, and current medications allow our dentists to plan individual dental treatment based on your specific needs.
Your medical history is very important to us, and we want to be alert to any of your health problems.
Our Los Angeles and Valencia dental office has emergency supplies and drug kits that are readily accessible anytime an emergency may occur. We routinely check supplies for quality to determine that they are in working condition.
