Pre-Medication: Patients who are required to use pre-medication, per medical doctors’ orders, will be asked to pre-medicate prior to having any dental work performed. Associates for General Dentistry cannot supply any premedication nor will we be able to contact physicians to receive this information. The patient is responsible for pre-medicating and will be required to sign off verifying that pre-medication has been taken.

5. Why Is Associates for General Dentistry Hosting a DFTH Event?

The staff at Associates for General Dentistry decided that we wanted to bring this event to Arlington & Prospect Heights so we can give back to the community that has supported our practice for over 35 years. We understand that there is a need to provide dental services and want to be able to help people living in our neighborhood. Patients arrive often with concerns or are in discomfort and leave feeling happy, relieved and grateful. Our team of doctors, hygienists, assistants & front desk staff is excited to be able to use our talents to help those who need our help!
