Do dentists offer special services for people with epilepsy?

Wednesday, July 20th, 2011

Q.
I was recently diagnosed with epliepsy, and am concerned that I may have an episode during treatment. Have you had any experience with epileptic patients and would you be able to offer me any advice?

Advise your dentist about your seizers. If your seizers are in an active state I would avoid dental treatment. As long as you take your medication and your seizers are under control you should not be concerned.

Are dentists governed by laws regarding patient confidentiality?

Wednesday, July 20th, 2011

Q.
I would like to know whether or not dentists have the same confidential kind of law as do doctors? I mean being unable to tell others about the patient’s treatment and such.

A.
Hi many thanks for your enquiry, yes dentists are governed by patient confidentialty. So a treatment that takes place between you and your dentist is strictly private information. Hope this is helpful.
