When you visit a new dentist, you may wonder if they can order your dental records from your previous dentist. The answer is usually yes. With your consent, your new dentist can request your dental records from any other dentist or dental office where you have been a patient.
There are several reasons why you might want to have your new dentist order your dental records. First, your dental records contain important information about your oral health history, including any treatments you have received, medications you have taken, and allergies you have. This information can help your new dentist provide you with the best possible care.
