Assessment:
Assessment is the core of dental procedure. Going through the health history and medical history with the patient is very important. For example, if the patient is taking anticoagulant medication such as warfarin,
patient have to do an INR (blood test) less than 3 within 24/48 hours from the procedure. I remember that the first patient I had refused to go take his INR test when I called on the phone. The day has arrived and patient came with his INR test higher than 3 which he had done two weeks ago and we end up cancelling the appointment. It is very important to look at the patient medical history before the appointment.
