General Health

Medical conditions can effect your dental health and visa versa; therefore, your overall well being is very important to us.  Our office works closely with your family physician or medical specialist in providing you with safe and comfortable care. 

A comprehensive medical history and blood pressure screening is recorded and updated regularly.  When scheduling appointments, inform us of any recent test, medical or medication changes, and allergies.

Blood pressures are taken on all our patients yearly for a baseline, before treatment requiring anesthetic, or on patients with a high baseline.  As a health care provider, Dr. Rosenbaum is responsible to inform patients if their blood pressure is high.  Patients are asked to monitor their blood pressure and inform their family doctor if the baseline is in the high-normal or high range.  In some cases, extensive dental treatment may be cancelled. 

Many times specific medical requests are sent to the patient's family doctor or specialist to inquire about medical problems or medication.  This information is necessary to provide our patient with safe dental care.

There are some patient's who are required to take a particular dosage of antibiotics prior to dental work because of a valve replacement or a recent joint replacement.  Dr. Rosenbaum and his team members will explain this necessity to our patients.
