What information should be recorded on the patient’s health history before starting coronal polish?

Allergies only
Patients' vitals
Previous dental treatments
Medications currently being taken

The correct answer is: Patients' vitals

Recording vital signs in a patient’s health history before starting coronal polishing is important because these readings can provide insight into a patient’s overall health and potential risks during the procedure. Vital signs, including blood pressure, pulse, respiration rate, and temperature, serve as key indicators of a patient’s systemic condition. If a patient's vital signs are abnormal, it might indicate underlying health issues that could complicate the treatment or pose risks, making it essential to take these measurements. While information like allergies, previous dental treatments, and current medications are also significant aspects of a patient’s health history, knowing the vitals helps create a comprehensive assessment of the patient's readiness for the polishing procedure. It empowers the dental professional to make informed decisions about proceeding with treatment and ensures patient safety.
