Filling in your health history before you arrive saves time at your first visit. It takes a few minutes, is submitted online, and there is nothing to print or bring.
Health history form
Formulario de Historial de Salud (español)
Complete one before your first appointment at either office. Both collect the same information, and the link opens on our forms provider’s site.
Nothing else is required. Bring your insurance details if you have coverage, and any recent X-rays your dentist has taken. What happens at the first visit sets out the rest.
Why we ask for it in advance
The health history covers medical conditions, medications, allergies and any previous dental or orthodontic treatment. It matters clinically rather than administratively: some conditions and some medications affect how teeth move or how gums respond, and the doctors would rather know before an examination than during one.
Completing it beforehand also means your first appointment is spent on the examination and the conversation rather than on paperwork. The visit takes about an hour either way; how much of that hour is useful is up to how much of the form is already done.
If anything on the form changes during treatment, tell the office. A new medication or a new diagnosis is worth mentioning even if it seems unrelated to your teeth.
If you would rather complete it in the office, that is fine too. Arrive fifteen minutes early and the front desk will get you set up.
