The entire consultation should take less than an hour.
Treatment
Depending on the results of the examination and x-rays at your dental assessment, our dental specialists/ dentists may clear you to proceed with your scheduled medical procedure or treatment.
On the other hand, if dental treatment is required, we will do our best to ensure that your dental treatment is completed in a timely manner.
Follow Up Care
If there are no pre-existing dental conditions that need to be addressed before the major surgery or cancer treatment, the follow up is done after medical treatment is completed.
Good oral hygiene – flossing, brushing and regular dental check-ups is encouraged.
