Dental Records Transfer

by on November 7, 2009

When you are seeing a dentist other than your regular dentist there is information, such as x-rays that is valuable to the new dentist. Due to patient privacy issues many dentists will request a signed authorization to be able to give records to another dentist. This is fine and a safeguard for your privacy so do not be surprised if you are asked to sign a release form.
Once you have signed the release form the dentist should be able to send your records either directly to you or to another dentist you want to see. The most valuable format is to have your records sent electronically to you. That way you have them in your posession, digitally on your computer. You can forward them to one or many dentists that you may be considering for your dental needs. What’s more another dentist can view your x-rays and treatment recommendations to help provide a fee qute to you. As you search for a dentist for treatment you will find dentists all over the world who can perform your dentistry at very cometitive rates.
