Why Special Management of Geriatric and Medically Compromised Patients Is Important
Geriatric and medically compromised patients have many special considerations that must be taken into account before undergoing oral surgery.
- Medication management. Medications taken by patients can conflict with one another, causing adverse side effects. At Southern Ohio Oral & Facial Surgeons, we take into consideration all medications being administered to patients to ensure that any pain medications and antibiotics won’t cause health problems or interfere with recovery following a procedure.
- Take medical history into account. Each patient has a unique medical history that can impact their oral health and oral surgery experience. At Southern Ohio Oral & Facial Surgeons, we consider our patient’s full health history before recommending or proceeding with a dental procedure. We do this to ensure that our patients are safe and their surgical procedure is a positive one.
