How is it already June?!
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has visited us so far this year — your continued trust means the world to our team. Teeth are our passion, and your overall health is always our top priority.
When you visit Dr. Karen Archer Family Dental Care, you can feel confident that you’re receiving excellent care from every member of our team. You might sometimes wonder why we ask so many medical questions, take your blood pressure and pulse, and request an up-to-date list of your medications. The answer is simple: your overall health directly affects your oral health and the dental treatment you receive.
Understanding your medical history allows us to create the safest, most effective treatment plan for you — one that considers potential interactions between medications, medical conditions, and dental procedures.
As part of professional regulations, dental hygienists in Ontario are required by the College of Dental Hygienists of Ontario to take your blood pressure and pulse at each appointment. It’s all part of ensuring your care is thorough, safe, and personalized.
Thank you for always keeping us informed of any changes to your medical history.
