Blood tests

Laboratory tests are essential for health assessment, accurate diagnosis, and treatment. We welcome you to EgoDent. Here you will have access to a wide range of analyses, specific tests, and medical services essential for investigating health problems, even if you do not have apparent symptoms. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can prevent possible complications of both dental and physical diseases and speed up their recovery.

What laboratory tests should you do annually? 

If you want an overall perspective of your general health, we recommend doing a set of laboratory tests once a year. The necessary laboratory tests are established by your doctor based on your age, gender, and medical history. The results are interpreted by the doctor who indicated the set of tests and who will identify the presence of certain conditions. Some of the most common blood results include a blood count (CBC) that measures the three types of blood cells and can help diagnose hematological diseases. Other blood tests essential for your body’s overall health, including oral health, are blood glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides, which help prevent diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

The importance of laboratory tests before dental interventions

For healthy patients, a jaw X-ray is enough before surgical intervention. However, when it comes to patients prone to various conditions such as allergies, chronic diseases, or other obstacles that can affect surgical procedures, we recommend carrying out a set of additional laboratory tests at the EgoDent clinic:

• patients with allergies. If the patient is allergic to drugs, the doctor may prescribe allergy tests to choose the correct anesthetic.
• diabetic patients. Therefore, it must be identified and corrected before the operation.
• patients with cardiovascular diseases. These patients can benefit from surgery only with the permission of a cardiologist. Hypertension can cause bleeding in the case of dental implants. 

These are just a few situations where laboratory tests and medical check-ups are vital when it comes to surgery. Visit us at EgoDent Stanmore, where you have access to a wide range of laboratory tests and where we will identify and solve any problem that can affect your teeth’ health.
