Your patient is a 90 year old man with several health conditions including a past stroke in 2017, past heart attack in 2000, hypertension since 1980 and dementia diagnosed in 2016.  His vital signs are BP: 132/84, pulse 84, respiration 14 and he takes his 5 prescribed medications daily to control his health issues.   His daughter brought him because he no longer drives and she helps him during the appointment with the paperwork and with answering your questions.  The daughter wishes he could have a dentist that comes to his nursing home, so you work with her to try to recruit the dentist you work for to see patients there 1 day per month.   QUESTION: Where do you list new medications that the patient is taking in the patient chart?

Your new patient is a new mother with a 2 month old baby who just went back to work and is struggling to find time for self-care and isn’t brushing daily. She reports no medical history issues except anxiety, for which she takes a medication. Her vitals today are blood pressure 130/84, pulse 86 and respirations 20. Through the dental history, you determine the has not had a dental appointment in 3 years, is having some issues with sore and bleeding gums and has a 4/10 fear of the dentist. As you complete her assessments and radiographs, you determine that she has generalized bleeding and inflammation with 4-5mm probe depths, but no bone loss. You use the risk assessment rankings and Motivational Interviewing to try to help her establish goals/objectives to improve her oral health.
