Visit a dentist regularly.
Be prepared for every appointment. You're an important source of information for the dentist. If you have questions about what the dentist will need to know,
call the office before the appointment.
Know the person's dental history. Keep a record of what happens at each visit. Talk to the dentist about what occurred at the last appointment. Remind the dental

Bring a complete medical history. The dentist needs each patient's medical history before treatment can begin. Bring a list of all the medications the person you
care for is taking and all known allergies.

begin. Know who can legally give consent.Be on time.
