Seniors need to see a dentist regularly for a checkup and cleaning. And it’s a good idea to bring some information to share with your dentist.

The American Dental Association advises that you bring:

• A written list of your over-the-counter and prescription medications, supplements, herbs and vitamins.
• A complete list of allergies and other medical conditions.
• The names and contact info of all of healthcare providers.
• Information for an emergency contact, in case of a serious medical problem.
• Insurance cards for any dental plan or Medicare.
• Any partials or dentures, even if you don’t wear them.
