Dental Treatment Plan
What is a dental treatment plan?
A dental treatment plan is a document generated by the dentist that outlines the details of a patient’s recommended dental treatments. The document also contains the patient’s personal information and insurance information. The treatment plan is created by the dentist after doing an oral evaluation of the patient. The type of treatment recommended by the dentist could be preventive care, restorative care, or cosmetic procedures.
What is the importance of a dental treatment plan?
The dental treatment plan is important because:
- It helps the patient understand the treatment plan that the dentist has laid out for them.
- It helps to collect all important information about the patient.
- It helps the patient and dental provider work together to achieve the patient’s oral health goals.
- If required, coordination with other dentists can also be made easy with the dental treatment plan.
