As the information provided is quite in-depth and substantial we have broken it down to a series of posts. Each week will be publishing 3 posts in the series. The full list of topics is available below.Like all medical and dental practices, at NQ Surgical Dentistry, we need to obtain an accurate, detailed medical history for all our patients.\u00a0 The medical history form is the first stage of collecting this information.\u00a0 At your consultation, Dr Priestland will discuss your medical history in more detail and may ask further questions to identify any additional information required to provide you with the best care possible and manage your medical conditions as they may relate to the treatment planned.If a patient has a number of medical issues, Dr Priestland may ask their doctor for a medical summary with a full drug history.\u00a0 This can be very useful in helping to plan surgery and ensure we offer the best combination of medications to avoid any drug interactions.Following any surgery, we provide all our patients with one page of post-operative instructions that are concise and cover the main points to facilitate a safe recovery.The more detailed information contained in this article series is a reference source for our patients to access should they want additional information on a range of issues that relate to patients\u2019 general medical health and how it can influence our dental management before, during and after dental surgery.\u00a0 The list below outlines the contents of this article series with detailed information being provided under each heading:Medical History and how it can impact surgical careOsteoporosis medication influences dental extractions and dental surgeryDiabetes and dental treatment or surgeryDental extractions and surgery after radiation therapy of the head and neckKnee or hip replacement surgery influences future dental managementThe influence of cardiac disease on dental managementAnticoagulant and antiplatelet medications influence management of dental extractions and dental surgeryAngina (heart-related chest pain) medications and dental treatmentCodeine sensitivity or allergyPatients who routinely take steroid medicationsAny queries?If you have any questions after reading through this article series as it relates to your own medical history and you are due to see Dr Priestland, please discuss all your medical issues and questions with him at your initial consultation appointment.If you have already seen him and have a surgical appointment but you now remember there is a medical issue that you did not discuss with Dr Priestland, please contact the practice as soon as you are able.If you have problems and have recently had surgery contact the friendly team at NQ Surgical Dentistry today on\u00a0(07) 4725 1656 or call in to see us at\u00a0183 Kings Rd, Pimlico QLD 4812In the case of an emergency, our patients can call Dr Priestland outside his normal working hours on his mobile telephone number that is shown on your printed post-operative instructions and on your appointment card.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;
