Why this matters
When your dentist can see your dental information, it helps with:
- Faster visits: Your dentist can see your information quickly, so you may wait less.
- Better care: Your dentist has the facts needed to help treat you.
- Fewer surprises: Your dentist can see what is covered, so there may be fewer unexpected costs.
- Less paperwork: You do not need to bring as much information to your visit.
- Your privacy matters: Only dentists who treat you can see your information, and you can choose to stop sharing.
