What does your Blood Test mean?

Finally, you can understand what the doctors are not telling you. Take a photo or PDF of your test and upload now!

Oh, sweetheart, let me tell you something important. You’re about to get your wisdom teeth out, and I can sense you’re a little anxious about what might come up during the tests. It’s natural to worry, but you must remember that honesty is the best policy, especially when it comes to your health. Doctors are there to help you, not to judge. If you’ve been using substances like THC or nicotine, it’s crucial to be upfront with your dentist. Not because they’re going to tell your parents, but because it affects how you respond to anesthesia. And believe me, you don’t want any surprises when you’re under!

Now, darling, don’t get caught up in unnecessary worries. Most dental procedures, especially for wisdom teeth removal, don’t even require blood tests. They generally just take x-rays. But if they do need any additional information, it’s for your safety. If you’ve been indulging in a bit of smoking or anything else, your dentist needs to know to keep you safe during the procedure. They want to ensure the anesthesia doesn’t cause any complications.

Listen to me, dear, your health is the priority here. Dentists are bound by privacy laws like HIPAA, so they won’t spill your secrets unless necessary for your safety. If you feel uneasy, have a candid talk with them. They’re professionals and understand these concerns better than anyone else. Keep calm, and focus on a smooth recovery. You’ve got this!
