How to Transfer Your Records When You Change Dentist
The most valuable thing you bring to a new dentist is a dated record of past treatment.
Which records actually matter
Radiographs matter most. Whether a dark area at a root tip is new or has been the same size for years changes the decision, and only an older film settles it. Implant details come next: brand, diameter and length determine the components, and without them removing or renewing a screw-retained restoration is needlessly difficult. Third is your medication and allergy history — blood thinners, bone medicines and some immune drugs change surgical planning, and a past reaction to an anaesthetic must be known at the first visit.
Useful to bring with you
- Any panoramic and periapical images you hold
- The implant card or the brand and size details
- An up-to-date list of your medication
- Known allergies and past anaesthetic reactions
- Dates of root canal treatments and surgery
- If you had orthodontics, the finish date and retainer details
- Your night guard or removable appliance, if you have one
Why a new film is taken anyway
An older image is valuable but may not be enough on its own: a radiograph is a two-dimensional slice, and a film taken at a different angle can show the same area differently. What usually decides treatment is today's picture. So the old film is kept for comparison rather than discarded — side by side they reveal something a single image cannot: direction and rate. A shrinking lesion suggests healing may be continuing; a growing one makes the decision clear. Ask for your images digitally and keep a copy.
Getting Here, Booking and Emergencies from Saray
Route, booking and emergency arrangements for patients from Saray.
Getting here from Saray
Saray lies in the Alanya district of Antalya; Alanya is a coastal tourism district, about 132 kilometres from the clinic. We also see patients from neighbouring areas that share the route from Saray, such as Bademağacı, Beyreli, Cumhuriyet, Dere. You can ask for the location on WhatsApp when travelling from Saray.
Appointments for Saray
Over the distance between Saray and the clinic each visit means a day, so a long slot is set aside and the number of visits needed is stated at the outset. As with patients from Alanya generally, appointments for families from Saray can be scheduled consecutively.
Emergencies from Saray
Always call before setting out from Saray at night; over this distance the guidance you receive on the phone matters in keeping the situation from worsening. For patients coming from Dental Clinic in Saray, the clinic is open 24/7 and in an emergency the order is set by severity rather than arrival time. For spreading facial swelling, difficulty swallowing or breathing, or toothache with fever, go to the nearest emergency department.
Sedation and General Anaesthesia in Children's Dental Treatment
In some children familiarisation methods do not work, or the treatment load is too great. Sedation and general anaesthesia are then options to be planned rather than avoided.
Three separate levels
The difference between them is the level of consciousness:
- Nitrous oxide: the child is awake, communicates, and anxiety falls
- Conscious sedation: sleep-like relaxation with reflexes preserved
- General anaesthesia: full sleep, hospital conditions and an anaesthetist
- The choice follows the child's age, cooperation and treatment load
When it comes into question
Where many teeth need treatment, where the child is very young and cooperation cannot be established, where there are special needs, or where an urgent infection makes waiting impossible. If a previous attempt was traumatic, continuing to press does greater long-term harm. Completing everything in one session under general anaesthesia can then be the better choice for preserving the child's relationship with dentistry.
Safety and preparation
General anaesthesia is carried out in hospital under an anaesthetist, with blood tests and examination beforehand. The fasting period must be followed exactly — that rule is not flexible. The child is observed for several hours afterwards. Sedation requires similar preparation. The family staying calm through the process directly affects how the child copes.
